When I need help resolving technical issues, I prefer using IRC. I like how you can quickly connect anonymously and usually get an response to your question quickly.

I use XMPP, but with a fair number of them I am using an XMPP to SMS service.

So it is all XMPP on my end, but might not be on theirs...

@textovervideo My family, or at least those of them I care enough about to stay connected with, still use old-fashioned technology. My brother and older sister only use voice phone-calls, my younger sister uses that in addition to plain text sms messaging and old-fashioned plain-text email. My friends, those of them that use the Internet, I connect with via Telegram or Mastodon.
