Hi friends,

I'm new to Lemmy but I think I like where it is heading in general. I would like to ask, do you have any specific apps used for ?

As a community that seems more focused on decentralized platforms, I thought this could spike up an interesting discussion

I have been using mainly Viber and FB messenger. I did try to convince friends and family to move over to simpleXchat, as it seems the most privacy focused alternative I have found, but basically failed.

I would love to hear your input!

The messages of these WhatsApp groups are forwarded to Matrix chats and their responses are forwarded to WhatsApp which means they can use their Matrix chat client (Element or FluffyChat or whatever) for messaging their friends on WhatsApp.
