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 you will have better chances with signal for your close relationships. That's the best compromise of user experience and safety.

@delta has more and more traction, and does not require a phone number so great for children.

Matrix is more for online communities, think like slack or discord.

Install all for months first, remove the useless ones after. Do your tests

My goto reference is @privacyguides
