Why? It’s yet another centralised communication app. Want respect? Set up your own Matrix server. Contribute to open source federated methods of communication.
i’m on signal because that’s the only platform some people use and at least it’s not discord (or worse, telegram), but it has given matrix a run for its money for how many times it has eaten my chat history, and eaten my entire account including contact list twice. plus i really would love to be able to create multiple accounts (or multiple identities on the same account) so i can avoid showing people i don’t know my legal name and avoid explaining my fake name to people i know irl without using either twilio or google pay
If you tell me you’re on signal my respect for you grows.

At least you’re on Lemmy, that’s a start.

Go use SimplexChat at least, it only uses single use identifiers and you don’t need an account !
well wouldnt you know it, thats my main communication platform. even got my closest friends and my family to use it
Same. Got my parents on it. I recommend it to everyone.
Mine got on Threema, before Signal became a big thing. Meh, better than WhatsApp.
I’m on signal
My man/girl/bean.
Threema anyone? Is this still a thing?
The swiss have a bad track record when it comes to encrypted communications
If you tell me you donated, my respect grows 3 sizes.
