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 I recommend you Delta Chat, it has a super easy onboarding! easier than WhatsApp, Signal etc. no phone number or anything required for registration, just set a name and go
it also has in-chat mini-apps and tools like shopping lists, collaborative notepads, mini-games etc.
it is decentralized, open source and it also empowers you with multi-homing (and easy migration of servers without losing your profile and chats)
it is ideal for family and friends
