I mainly use WhatsApp. I have tried moving on from it, but it is too pervasive in my circles. If I stop using it I will miss too much, so for now I’ll stick to it.

I boycott anything in the Facebook conglomerate. That means I am completely out of touch with 95% of the people in my country. Bloody lemmings.

I used Signal because it could seamlessly work with sms, but as they killed that, I killed Signal.

So now I use only SMS and Email. But people can’t be bothered. FML

Sadly, the inferior WhatsApp is very common in some countries.

Signal for personal. Discord for gaming. Element/Matrix as much as I can.

Steam Friends

Whatsapp, Element and FB Messenger.

iMessage, email and FB🤬Messenger for the family. Did I just date myself?

In Japan, it’s LINE. Garbage app but the entire population uses it so.

I use Discord and Instagram. I hate pretty much everything about the latter but everyone in my friend group uses it. I wish they still had that app with Instagram dms and nothing else.

Telegram, Discord, and plain old sms.

WhatsApp. Some amount of Instagram chat. But that’s it.

WhatsApp, in general, and Telegram for closer friends.

Discord

In order: Signal, SMS (stock app), and Matrix (element)

I use Matrix & XMPP almost exclusively, with some IRC on the side.

I also use Cheogram/JMP’s SMS–>XMPP service, it’s quite handy to check SMS on my computer.
