       What IM do you guys use? I have family on #Messenger, #Ukraine contacts on #Telegram and #Viber, I know people in #UK use #WhatsApp but that's the only one I don't use... and although I have #Signal, I don't know a single person who actually uses it.I'm guessing the types who inhabit my instance would prefer #Signal, but I'm curious what people prefer. What do you guys actually use in real life - given it's hard to shift people from the platform where all their friends/family already are?

       @joel #XMPP and #Matrix are two whose existence I only learnt of yesterday. 😆 Herein lies the problem with all these IMs: if your friends don't use them, neither will you (or in this case know what they are).It's funny, but I remember chatting with my brother on #Steam chat, even though the messages seem to disappear pretty quickly. 😀 I think #Signal is the one I'll have the best luck with converting people.
