The last time I tried to make video chat work with people, we dived between jitsi, facebook messenger, zoom… until something worked well enough. what are people using here now? Jitsi? Google Meet? Whatsapp? Facebook Messenger? Zoom? Skype? Facetime, somehow? The builtin thing in matrix that used to be jitsi but I think they updated it? Microsoft Teams? What?
Arguable, the ability it already had of being able to also receive SMS so you wouldn’t be stuck using two apps to accommodate the non Signal users of your life.
Yeah most people I know that used signal stopped using it when they took this away.
I use like twelve apps to acommodate the non-Signal users of my life… And Signal is pretty much just a note-to-self app at this point, nobody else uses it.
