I want to love the idea of a universal messaging app, but being on a waiting list with tens of thousands of other people for months has killed my excitement for it.
Never even heard of it
Just a commercialized Matrix server with some well-integrated bridges.
I got so interested in it because I’m old and miss Pidgin.
Me too, that was a great app.
I’m old too. For me it was Trillian.
I’ve gotten access to it, tried it for all of 30 seconds, and immediately deleted after. For one, there is a difference between full app integration and “you can connect it through beeper”, which essentially removes any feature except for basic messaging. But the most egregious issue is that if you decide to try to use their iMessage service, they just host it on some random Apple hardware they have, guaranteeing absolutely 0 security
Any of these jack-of-all-trades apps are never very good. There’s a reason why dedicated apps to a single messaging system requires so much work, there’s a lot to go into it.
people are posting invite codes all the time, I found one after looking for about 10 minutes.
don’t really like it much though, and thankfully none of my friends use imessage.
I didn’t know it even had in invites. When I signed up, they just mentioned the waiting list. I just think it’s weird marketing to have such a huge wait list for so long. I’d almost rather just not hear about it until the wait list is realistically navigable.
Thank you for the invite heads up BTW, I appreciate it. Got it all up and running now.
I accidentally signed up with two different emails and got in within a week on both. You sure you signed up with a functioning email address?
