minus-squarezer0@thelemmy.clubhexbear1·1 year agoSo you prefer it because everyone use it? This doesn't sound smart linkfedilink
minus-squareAppukuttan@kerala.partyhexbear15·1 year agoHow am I supposed to message people when the only messaging app they use is whatsapp and facebook messenger (which I don't use)? I guess the only easy alternative is to use SMS and email since everyone use it. But it is not safe. I am always open to alternatives like Signal, Element,etc. But no one use them. I am not going to force people to use a messaging app. linkfedilink
