My friends wanted to move off Telegram to Signal. I said sure let's move off Telegram, but let's move onto Matrix instead. Now I have to use a Matrix bridge to talk to them and I still had to install Signal lol
I mean Signal is definitely better than Telegram, but if we were going to make a move anyway, I would've preferred the one that doesn't require a phone number, or even the existence of a phone.
My whole life I kept trying to move people to the better chat program/app. It's a waste of time. Either they'll do our don't on their own time.
Maybe simplex or Threema for that. Matrix is like replacement of IRC
