Started moving to Element/Matrix this weekend when I attended a protest and wanted to have some kind of communication, but also wanted to leave my primary phone at home. I was using a de-googled android fork and an e-sim, but being a data-only e-sim, I couldn't use Signal due to the phone number requirement.
Annoying to have try to get contacts to get another app, but at least it's decentralized and comes with the option of being self-hosted once I'm ready to tackle that.
Hey, note that you can use mautrix-signal to access your Signal account within Element on this phone.
@MrMcGasion @Sunny Come to the dark side (xmpp, and jmp.chat) and get decentralized messaging and SMS support with that data-only sim!
@Sunny@slrpnk.net already has an XMPP account, as that is included in every slrpnk.net account automatically. It is very easy to set that up for most Fediverse software, and the user id is identical between Fediverse and XMPP.
Oh damn i did not even know about this! I will defo have a play around with this tomorrow, how very neat!
However, it isnt me im really worried about in the grand picture, its family and friends. It was already difficult enough to convert them to using Signal.
Matrix is way more dark side in my opinion (this is a joke about how often it fluffs up, leaving you in the dark).
