I mean for them to explain why they think signal sucks

I think you can try to create the group with end to end encryption

Signal is just a messaging app, and worst of all to a ton of people you have to share your phone number, something that is kinda intimate and you might only share it among the closer people in your friend group, even when signal launches usernames unless it builds something around signal it’s just another annoying messaging app to keep track of.

as a gen zer myself I would follow it up with WHY? give me a reason WHY. I don’t really see a difference between instagram groups and signal groups. I think what it is for most people is some lame app they will download for only that specific purpose. The only reason why iMessage is popular is it’s the default. If the EU passed a regulation to force Apple to have a default messager that only supported SMS, and iMessage to be a separate appstore app, or even just an extension for the messages app. it would die within a year. Meta groups are only popular cause they are tired to 2 of the biggest social platform being facebook and instagram.

Damn this would be great for mastodon too! Imagine a plugin that auto flagged images locally, and gave you a heads up. Kinda like what tech companies have but wont freak out if it finds “extremist” content.

Ugh I always knew the college board was sketchy, this is a whole different level of exploitation.

Honestly fedi could improve UX, basic changes included account sharing via QR code, forced use of the username + domain so users understand that domains are used. And a few more I can’t think of right now

This is so based!

I use it, and never really had issues with it. It was pretty reliable.

No, I rather everyone be equal, there is no reason there should be a 1% and a 99%. No one needs 12 yots and a 4 private jetliners. I rather work in a community where my work gives value to people I actually know rather than a soulless corpo,

lmao, NO. also some of the richest people are lazy AF and sit on Twitter all day bitching about queer people existing. I am sorry but poor people work the hardest for the least amount of income.

Why should some people be allowed to be rich but not most people?

I don’t really trust non Foss messaging services, I rather manually bridge everything into matrix

I am not like suggesting you bring an iPad, but I am suggesting you bring your own device to class whatever that might be.

Yeah the project has continued without him, And yeah running Google Apps is likely less private but considering I use proprietary apps like discord regularly I feel like Google and people are getting more and more of my data anyway.

Hmmm not sure if its any different now but I used to bring my own iPad mini and do my work on that. I’m sure its different now.

For mastodon I don’t use a client cause there really isn’t a good for calckey right now. The webapp isn’t perfect but its good enough

I link infinity for Lemmy tbh, its kinda buggy right now when I want to post but other than that its fine.

I feel like we need a popular fork to ship by default on Linux distros, and other stuff. And this fork need a heavy skin. We need to make it better in every single way.
