So here's the thing, every time I try to move away from Facebook messenger I run into the same problem, nobody else in my friends or family actually want to use a secure, private messenger app like signal or telegram, my wife, my parents, my in-laws, my friends they're ALL on Facebook and they will never take signal seriously enough to actually use it, it really bums me out that there are these far superior options but without anyone else using them they're pointless..

Anyway what apps do you use to stay in touch with people?

There's been a lot of controversy lately surrounding the protest actions over on r/place but having never been there myself I don't understand what the purpose of the subreddit was originally, or why protesting users chose that specific subreddit to utilize, a breif explanation would be much appreciated ✌️

I don't have a switch but my friend does and although she loves the Pokémon tcg she's never played a Pokémon video game so I'm looking at getting her a Pokémon game to play, any advice appreciated

So no question I've been enjoying lemmy, I love the freedom it offers and I love the seemingly simple and elegant framework it runs on however after having ditched Reddit for the hopes of a similar or improved content experience I have to say it is quite a bit smaller and therefore barren at times which is both a good and bad thing depending on your needs

And then of course there's kbin and masterdon which from my understanding is a little more geared towards the twitter-like micro blogging

But this morning somehow I stumbled across nostr which I have never heard of but I was wondering if anyone out there has any experience with it? There's a Web app like voyager at iris.to that makes browsing pretty simple..

Stop it.

I've never had a Twitter account and I'm genuinely curious what everyone seems to love about it (or hate about it)
