Everything that he mentions he misses is now in a group chat for me. A group of 20 or so friends have a Telegram group where we spit out random thoughts, talk about news, day to day life, spontaneously throw together plans to hang out or go for dinner, post candid/embarrassing photos of stuff we’re doing, etc.
Some days only a few people are active, other days you’ll open it up to hundreds of unread messages from everyone.
It’s not public, but it doesn’t need to be. In fact we end up having more entertaining and honest chats since it’s private.
- frosted-flakes 8y agoI feel like everybody I know is part of a private group chat with their family. With some, it extends out to all the first cousins (40+ people), but for me it's just my siblings and their spouses and my parents. Baby pictures, jokes, vacation pictures, random questions--stuff that Facebook was known for, but not like Instagram at all. There's no posturing, since it's all family and close friends. We used to use WhatsApp, but recently switched to Signal.
- emerongi 8y agoIf only Signal had reasonable multi-device support. I don't use Facebook, but the rest of my family uses it for group chat. It honestly makes sense as it's more usable. We also have a Signal group, but it's fallen out of favour. The other thing that I know people like about Facebook is groups (different from group chat). If Signal also had the equivalent of that, it would be much easier to get people to switch.
