Matrix has bridges for every other chat service, so all your friends who refuse to switch don't have to.
SimpleX is the best alternative right now, email is a very bad protocol
@[email protected] currently I try to get my Employer to the fediverse. He would use TikTok to promote the profession with the help of trainees
You want them to shill to the fewer people here? That sounds bad for both sides.
Well, my only concern is that on the one hand the company is very meticulous about the internal network, but on the other hand messengers such as WhatsApp, etc. are used for internal communication. That doesn't go together. TikTok is just a new addition.
It's clear that Peertube etc. don't have the reach.
I'd focus on WhatsApp.
there's also session
unfortunately privacy and usability are inversely related. session is private. I loved it. but I had no one to chat with 😃
I had no idea if any of my contacts were on session or not.
