Here in South Europe people mostly use Viber. Edit: I was very unaware about situation in Southern Europe as I’ve learned from this post… Most people in Croatia use Viber!

    As an American living in Germany, I have:

    • Signal
    • Matrix
    • Discord
    • Whatsapp
    • Telegram
    • SimpleX
    • SMS via Google Voice for some very stubborn Americans

    Everyone I know in Europe uses Signal or Whatsapp, often both. Sometimes when I suggest to Americans who live in the US that they should use one of those, they counter that I should buy an iPhone and use iMessage.

        With the Digital Market Act in the EU they’ll soon all be speaking to each other. Vestager is about to tear those messaging monopolies a new asshole!

          That sounds good, until you realize that your data will then end up with Meta after you specifically left all of their services.

            That’s a GDPR request away from deletion, at least in the EU (and for a while at least, the U.K.)

              I don’t want them to have my data. It doesn’t matter how easy it is to delete them. And basically every time someone scans their contacts I might get re-added to allow this cross functionality
