We wouldn't have a simple and secure way of communicating?
The apple/Facebook alternatives are not good at all.
Simplex, xmpp, deltachat, briar, matrix, even session.
Anything is better than signal that relies on a centralised proprietary server and requires a phone number.
Sure, but tell my family that...
Has any of those become like easy to install and use? To be fair I haven't checked in some time...
With DeltaChat you don't even need an email address anymore, they provide it for you on the fly. They just ask your name if you (optionally) want to put it.
Can't be simpler than that tbh.
If you want a better looking ui, check ArcaneChat for Android. It's 100% compatible with DeltaChat protocol
