The last time I tried to make video chat work with people, we dived between jitsi, facebook messenger, zoom… until something worked well enough. what are people using here now? Jitsi? Google Meet? Whatsapp? Facebook Messenger? Zoom? Skype? Facetime, somehow? The builtin thing in matrix that used to be jitsi but I think they updated it? Microsoft Teams? What?

If you have 100 friends online, maybe 2 of them will be using signal. Signal’s adoption rate for normies is ABYSMAL

I know more normies on signal than I have online friends, so it’s just subjective

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.

Not everyone’s friends are idiots.

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.

Doesn’t make much sense with just one videostream and no audience
