    Signal or XMPP are good option

    XMPP may be a bit overwhelming as you need to select a provider and a client. Doesn’t require phone number.

    Signal is private and easy to use like whatsapp. Needs phone number to use.

    Telegram is cool but encryption isnt enabled by default, would like to avoid it for this. Cool for public groups.

    Edit: Teleram isnt good at all, dont use it. Look reason in the replies















  • I dont know much about writing stories/poetry, but for publicity in fediverse (I assume you meant in fediverse too) here would be my response:

    Lemmy is good but the main part of fediverse is the mastodon clients (twitter equivalent). Most of the users use a mastodon instance.

    So posting to mastodon and lemmy seems like a good option. Although mastodon will limit post text length. Better to repost or boost it from lemmy to mastodon.





  • Openness of linux would be lost

    Although device drivers are proprietary, linux does its best to limit such proprietry stuff. But in case of android, Google pretty much has a monopoly because a standard build of android isnt enough for use.

    I hate that the spirit of openness is shot on the foot just because of the need of commercialization. I would prefer linux than android.
