My wife told me to fuck off when I installed signal on her phone πŸ˜”

Haha, that’s kinda funny. Then people are like.

Just tell your friends and family to stop using iMessage. Like everyone will be ok to switch their routine just like that.

It's definitely not for everyone. For me it's

  • some use signal with me / others exclusively, sending the occasional message elsewhere when on a certain device or sharing within a platform
  • some use signal for sensitive conversations, and use other platforms most of the time
  • some just don't. If I need to have a sensitive conversation with them, I do it in person

Sounds like you need some matrix bridges in your life.

Whatcha bridging to Matrix?

[–] aniki@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

Honestly I started looking into a few of the easier ones and its a damn process so which one am I bridging? All of them. One at a time.
