Why can't we have simple messaging app built for privacy, with good call and video options? Maybe a few emojis would be cool as well.

Signal

You can even use stories in signal, though I turned it off in settings and have forgotten since launch that it exists until this post reminded me.

Of course, avid user.

Telegram started that way but as they became so big, the process of Enshittification has now begin. It happens to all tech platforms that become too big.

Here is how platforms die: First, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die.

This is a great article.

It has become pretty famous and made the word Enshittification pretty known in some circles. It's the perfect description of what we see around us now.

It's not that shitty yet, is it? The features they have paywalled seemed very niche

[–] mrmanager@lemmy.today 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No its still good, I agree. But just worth being aware they are trying to appeal to content creators now.

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago

Sure, when they pull that off I'm off to Signal/Matrix

[–] JohnEdwa@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Because it's doesn't make enough money.
