today i'm learning i should really start using Signal i guess (they added chat history backup so it's actually viable now)
for me i mainly preferred telegram/discord but the enshittification is really getting to both
matrix is _fine_ if janky, slow and makes me worry every time i join a chat if its going to make my postgres explode
xmpp does not have any decent ios clients so immediately disqualified
i never really used signal because of weird arbitrary limitations (you could only backup chat history if you're on android, device transfer is broken, devices with 7" screens must be secondary devices, etc)
and the others i have no experience with

@tay@tech.lgbt the problem I have with Telegram is the Nazi dog whistles in a blog post, got called out on Fedi, changed it to a different dog whistle On top of the poor e2ee chat support which is effectively useless Im on Discord because that is where everyone is and works well enough until recently. Its a rather frustrating conundrum
