    Matrix or Signal only for me. nobody uses Whatsapp here in the states, sms is simply insecure in every way, and telegram has very suspicious roots imo, along with a lack of e2ee and a terrible ui.

    signal is the most secure option and matrix is federated making it the most “open” option.

      “Nobody uses Whatsapp here in the states”

      Man I wish I had your friends. The only non-iMessage app I can get everyone to use is WhatsApp. And I don’t have an iPhone.

        I mean, I’m not in any better of a camp. all of my friends refuse to get off discord.

        congrats you’re an outlier I suppose. I’ve only met maybe 5 people that know what Whatsapp is. telegram is marginally more popular but only because a lot of drug dealers use it (they would have better luck with matrix or even signal)

          I’m surprised with the reactions to this. The only people I use whatsapp with are all outside the US. It’s discord/telegram/sms for everyone in the US and it’s miserable.
