@Terry @xianc78 @ChristiJunior @Dan_Hulson I gave up explaining hexchat to tech normies so good luck with that fam.

@Terry @ChristiJunior @Dan_Hulson If they can comprehend email, then they can comprehend XMPP. There are even web clients for it.

Telegram isn't even private.

@xianc78 @Terry @ChristiJunior @Dan_Hulson Luke Smith. NO thank you. I’ll continue using Telegram. And no Luke Smith, don’t use some application that from a company named Amdocs a multinational billion company that sell and collects metadata.

@projectmirai39 @Terry @ChristiJunior @Dan_Hulson I disagree with the Matrix part. I'm well aware of the problems with Matrix. Either way, don't use Telegram.

@projectmirai39 @Terry @ChristiJunior @Dan_Hulson Oh. And if you think the company behind Matrix is bad. The CEO of Telegram is partnered with the World Economic Forum.

@xianc78 @Terry @ChristiJunior @Dan_Hulson Me use Telegram and Threema

@Terry @ChristiJunior @xianc78 @Dan_Hulson XMPP doesn't have a great metadata story, either.

@Terry @xianc78 @ChristiJunior @Dan_Hulson I've forced some normies to use it mostly by not telling them it is xmpp and providing a packaged install.
