Librem 5 phone users, those of you who are more social: What channels do you pragmatically use to keep up with your extended social circle?

To be fair, the title of this thread says “what do you use?” but it seems your question is “what should I use?”

Most of the world by large uses either Messenger or WhatsApp. Whether you use Messenger or WhatsApp depends on your country.

No. For me the title “what do you use?” is the correct one. According to SimilarWeb only a quarter of the site’s visitors are Americans so I rightfully expected more diversity in the answers from “I still use SMS.”

If your social circle is extended enough you will end up using your country’s default app (that is Messenger or WhatsApp for most people), period. An updated version of the title could sound like “how do you use your country’s default Big Brother messaging app (on your Librem 5 smartphone/in a reasonably private fashion)?”
