Telegram, discord, mastadon, signal, session, etc there are too many to list

Which are all useless if nobody you want to talk to is there.

[-] jcarax@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Oh, that's why it was so easy for me. There's nobody I want to talk to.

[-] BCsven@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Then simple text or oldschool phonecalls work

[-] foo@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

Facebook is a passive form of information feed on your family and friends. Phone calls are not a direct analog to them.

Some would say that is better

I can't switch away from messenger until everyone else does, because a chat app that doesn't actually connect me to the people I want to talk to is worthless to me

Lacks a publicly accessible user database. I can't get your info unless we have a mutual.

Which I like, semi aquaintance relationships are just fodder

[-] foo@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

Discord is a giant data hog. It's not a good argument.

The thing that Facebook has is momentum and a passive feed.

[-] baggins@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

I know these are there - I said so in my post. It does not work when others are on FB and will/can not leave for another platform.

No. Simply not suitable or practical.

But you do you.

[-] BCsven@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago
