What’s everyone’s preferred messaging tool?
WhatsApp, telegram, signal, or something else?
I’m looking for something secure for church communication that I can get the wider community to use.

Signal or telegram
That’s the way we are heading.
Trying to get people away from messenger and WhatsApp is strangely difficult. 😀
WhatsApp is interesting, being owned by meta, and highly used in the 3rd world, due to data subsidizing. They will perma-ban an account with a jailbroken or alternative devices. Not a fan.
I use Signal. I like the expiring messages feature.
Hmmm. That's a harder question than it appears.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but your users will include a lot of older people with limited willingness to learn new interfaces.
In that case, I would just setup a mailserver, and create a special church email address for each member. TLS is enabled by default, and the plaintext is never exposed unless emails are sent to external addresses. Metadata on who logs in and when is exposed, but not the details on who messages who.
It's not the new hotness, but even Boomers can use email.
Thank you, yes most users at this point would be older.
I will check it out
Simplex, but not yet for large groups. Signal, but that's only fine for people you already know and have their real phone number already.
