    Sadly, no. I managed to bring a friend on Signal after years, 3 monthes later they asked me if it’s ok if we talk on WhatsApp because it’s too bothersome to use two different apps.

    smh my head.

      Hey, remember in the age of about 9 different messenger protocols, when Pidgin allowed you to message people on the platform they preferred without too much fuss?

      The “things we lost in the post-y2k culling of clue and mentorship” box is running out of space.

        Pidgin is still around, and you can even use discord with it (no voice, mind you).

        I would like to bring the multi-platform client back.

      That’s not because it’s scary or people can’t understand how to use it, it’s just bothersome.
