Hi Everyone!

First, a huge thank you for the incredibly warm welcome to the Fediverse. The kindness from this community has been overwhelming, and such a contrast to the platforms I've left behind.

Now, I've gone down a total rabbit hole investigating more ethical tech. I've just realised that if I'm deleting Meta from my life, WhatsApp should probably go too. I'd love to know what you think are the best alternatives. Signal? Matrix/Element?

@sophiekaz For family and small groups messaging, Signal.

For unencrypted community chat, Matrix works well enough.

There are some interesting peer to peer options in the works too, such as Veilid, but I've not actually used those...

@adrinux thank you - that's a really valuable distinction. Will look into it further.
