#asknostr had we agreed upon the best messaging app already? SimpleX no one uses, signal when started asking to run updates annoyed me, OxChat we ain't there yet, please someone bring me clarity?
Discussion
signal until we have signal on nostr
But what about asking to run updates within the app? Good to go?
Been using Simplex as my main messenger for years.
Everytime i ask someone to use it they sound like its shady and they don't like it, I don't know why
Haha yeah well, I'm merciless at that. I told my friends I'm moving to Simplex, so I sent them the get-in-touch instructions and uninstalled all other shit. It took a few months for some but they came. I have a pretty small friend group though haha but they understand I have my reasons and do my due diligence.

My value in my friends side is weakening 🤣
It's a sad thing, my best friend literally dropped all his normie friends because he realised they had absolutely no value to offer, nor did they listen to a god damn word he said, I'm proud of him for getting rid of such a waste of time 😆
The disappointment every time I do see them, reminds me why I don't wanna see them anymore
Try Element 🤔
I think it's a fork of Signal, but not as annoying
Element is matrix
Now can you please translate to a dumb user🤩
matrix is decentralized discord that you can host basically
So its more to create group chat and all of that? Or is it a message app, sorry I'm to dumb I'll try to improve in 2026
Signal is superb. Im not grasping what you mean with updates? What are you running it on?
The last time I updated it, it started to send in app notifications asking to download tge new version, i never did and deleted it after denying updates for a week. And it wasn't showing any new version on zapstore
Nearly everyone we know is on Simplex, for private messaging
For community stuff, matrix
Is this matrix usable by dumb users like me, or you need PhD for it
