    I mainly use WhatsApp. I have tried moving on from it, but it is too pervasive in my circles. If I stop using it I will miss too much, so for now I’ll stick to it.

    I boycott anything in the Facebook conglomerate. That means I am completely out of touch with 95% of the people in my country. Bloody lemmings.

    I used Signal because it could seamlessly work with sms, but as they killed that, I killed Signal.

    So now I use only SMS and Email. But people can’t be bothered. FML

    iMessage, email and FB🤬Messenger for the family. Did I just date myself?

    Telegram, for a singular, friend group chat. And the cool Amazon sales channels. Whatsapp for family and anything work related.

    I prefer Signal, but have Whatsapp, FB Messenger, Slack, and Google Messages for everyone that doesn’t want to use it.

      Also RIP Signal’s SMS feature, that was the gateway drug I was able to use to get people using it.

        The confusion around messaging standards, even among the “non-normies” shows they made a good call removing SMS functionality from the app.

        An average joe doesn’t distinguish between SMS, RCS, iMessage, Signal, Messenger, WhatsApp, Line, Kakaotalk, Instagram chat etc, it’s just “texting” to them. People were so confused about all these that even r/signal was full of posts “why does texting to iPhone still suck after installing signal?”. It was a daily thing, for whatever reason users didn’t understand that Signal fixed the blurry photos problem between iPhones and Android devices but ONLY when used Signal-to-Signal. Normal SMS/MMS texting was still limited by this technology. Or another thing, people though Signal made chatting free. Sure, if used for sending Signal messages and not SMS. SMS were still within your plan, so why would Signal suddenly make them free?
