What should we switch to?
Signal?
Telegram?
Wickr Me?
I don't want to be forced to use a phone number to register, because in my shithole country SIM cars has to be registered with ID.
So what's the best messaging app now?

Just switch to iMessage like everyone else
>like everyone else
Bullshit everyone I know with an iPhone uses snapchat, fb messenger or telegram because it's cross platform
Signal. No other plausible option.
Signal, but borrow someone else's phone.
>borrow
Yeah, borrow. You can set up signal by having them call a phone, and it doesn't have to be the phone you have the app installed on.
Matrix
use XMPP
What the frick is Hangouts? Nobody I know has ever used it.
The answer is now, will forever be, and always has been IRC.
Someone was still using Hangouts? Huh. But I'm personally using Telegram, WhatsApp and Signal. Favourite one being Signal.
Can we become friends
Hell yeah
add me on telegram https://t.me/productofthepoison
I'm going to treat you like my other friends: contact every few years

Just host matrix
getsession.org
signal for relatively good security and privacy
telegram is basically on same level as whatsapp, i think that says enough.
i miss Google + so much its unreal
Hangouts was alright fricking google
Telegram is pretty good been using for 5+ years now

jewgle chat is literally the exact same thing as hangouts for the average user
the only real difference is the ability to create groups
I’m using matrix. Is federated, fully open source and doesn’t require (but allows) mobile phone Registration.
Also good phone app and decent PC app.
if you have people to talk with you don't belong here.
Why do IQfy homies pretend like you can pick your favourite messaging client? You use the one that your friends are on, that's it.
>You use the one that your friends are on
You must be the beta friend that has to download signal because that's what I am on.
Jitsi is a good alternative. XMPP if you have the ability
