The only personal electronic communication I use are the only two widely deployed federated protocols: email and SMS. Everything else involves compromises to enter a walled garden that offers no value to me.
- brewdad 1y agoSure but you do understand that makes you the outlier these days, right? Most people are on Facebook Messenger or Whatsapp or Signal or a dozen similar platforms. I try to use Signal for most communications but have friends and family that won't move to it, so I also use Whatsapp or plain SMS with them.
- onlygoose 1y agoIs SMS federated though? Genuine question. As far as I know it requires manual each-to-each setup on MNO level thus very fragile when we talk about cross-border or even cross-operator messaging. It is nowhere near email in terms of federation.
