Signal.
ah, I forgot about Signal since I don't like to video chat alone.
What do you mean? You can group call
Doesn't make much sense with just one videostream and no audience
/s
alright, to spell out the joke: nobody uses signal. I wouldn't be able to pay my friends to install signal. there's nobody to chat with.
Oh, everyone I know uses it so that didn't really hit the mark.
Really? Are you a web developer? Reporter? The only people I know on Signal are a reporter, who hates using it but needs to for sources, and a friend from undergrad (a tech school) who... probably doesn't use it anymore, I haven't actually been in touch with her.
It's functionally the same as WhatsApp, without the Facebook bullshit. It's not some weird utilitarian program to "hate" 😂
I use it to speak to all my friends and family.
Literally all of my friends use it and since recently even my parents and family. But if you have WhatsApp, Viber, Discord, WeeChat, Kik and Signal... people will say... ah I'll use Viber to reach you and leave it at that. You have to get rid of others and then people start moving.
Likely just not in the US. Many other countries never had unlimited texting plans, so messaging apps that could bypass SMS became very popular when they came about.
Not everyone's friends are idiots.
