Too many Bitcoin gizmos

just write letters.

😌

Two mini messaging apes.

All of them can share ID from nostr

I shouldn't have a folder on my phone dedicated towards them, but I do 😭

Same here, and to better spot the folder on the screen instead of letters/words I‘m using an emoji 📩

You really know how to use that

100% but only few censorship resistant

I was hoping they would all collapse into Nostr.

💯

inshallah

real

fine, i’ll build something else.

I don’t check anything but my texts and WhatsApp idk if that makes me a bad friend but w/e 🤷🏻‍♀️

何もかもが多すぎる

Which one do you like?

but only one reallly matters...Session!

Too many messenger concentrators too. Trillian was an example of that. Today most boomers are hopeless when it comes to messengers, if its not preinstalled its not going to happen. I know plenty X-rs that are the same way and they have no excuse. They're even worse, if it ain't apple, or some chinese crap to talk to their india and brazil team, theres no chance. They're of the attitude "if its more secure, that sounds scary. I dont want to look abnormal." These people live in places when if they don't edge the lawn including at the curb, the HOA sends them a fine. Apple tree? Would never dare such a violation. Its these dickholes that force us to keep using SMS, teams, cisco, wechat, fb mess, and fifteen others, none of which include signal, pgp, matrix, xmpp/omemo, etc. I'm afraid there is yet another politicial divide coming. One between self sovereign people, and the bleeting hordes.

You mean too many messaging platforms...

It'd be great to have many messaging apps if they all used the same protocol

Matrix protocol does that, and I guess nostr can too?

I only respond to Nostr DM's & Simplex

The average WhatsApp user can’t imagine life without. What’s needed is an instant messaging app that has utility that users can send and get instant financial value regardless of their location for near free. Globally. That would not replace WhatsApp but could have a similar scale with it.

That's why I use Matrix to bridge them into one and use a matrix client of my choice on any device. FluffyChat is a good one.

Agreed and I really struggle to have people using signal they are all Meta addicts… 😔

Maybe we should have all just stuck with ICQ.

Still remember my number too.

UH-OH!

Excess, even of good things, can lead to imbalance and dissatisfaction. Moderation is the key to lasting contentment. Enjoy life's pleasures in measure, for it is in balance that we find harmony and true appreciation.

Yesssss!!!! Enough already!

If only there was a platform they could all use and we could all live interoperable-ly ever after

#nostr

Why can't we all just use email? the OG message protocol. We just need better email UI UX. I wonder if someone can make an app that has a one click local mail server spin up. Integrate with nostr.

Cloudron.io has a dead simple self-hosted email solution, it just needs some nostr apps packaged. If interested, hit up their nice forum.cloudron.io

email is bad and unencrypted and near impossible to setup if you want gmail to not drop your mails in the spam box automatically. Jabber is cool, Matrix is eh, i just use them all

And all are near impossible to onboard normies to. Signal was the closest.

Use signal.

Wait-DNR Dorsey trying to generalise his response, legend 😂

I’m happy with Beeper, actually!

Too many battery and usb charger sizes too. Market freedom is messy. Especially when competition / profit is idealized and unchecked by an educated and principled consumer base.

You always pop up outta nowhere, and reply with motivatenatiol quote type responses.
