Signal kind of… Well. What do you fellow lemmings use? I am interested in you.
I wish more people would move to Matrix with me, so far only my partner did. But that’s good enough.
Did you self host it find a community?
No, I chose a public server with decent connection speed. I was lazy. 👻
I’m using Molly, the hardened fork of Signal that doesn’t use any google services these days. GrapheneOS introduced it via their app store…called App Store.
Everyone I know except my immediate family uses Signal at least to talk to me.
Signal, i know its now perfect, but its easy to get normal folks over there. I’m just happy I don’t have to use WhatsApp anymore.
Signal.
I’ve really tried matrix. it’s clearly the good one. Used to use telegram.
Now I’m mostly working on getting my friends over on signal. it’s just barely mainstream enough.
Depends on the purpose.
Signal for private conversation.
Mastodon for my hobby.
Lemmy and Bluesky for participation in the world.
Didn’t realize Blueaky was open source. Cool.
SchildiChat + Element (Matrix)
Email, usually thunderbird or k9 these days. For online chat I have a small nextcloud server but I rarely use it for that.
I’ve used matrix for years but now moved to Xmpp and simplex
Xmpp only works on highspeed mobile data… Or is that my clients fault?
Monocles chat for the xmpp network. I managed my family to finally leave WhatsApp behind with it. It even has support for mini apps inside. Everything is completely open source.
