Is there any actual easy to use foss chat app my friends and SO could use ? Everyone uses fb messenger because its so easy. I cant find anything easy enough to make people switch to, that won't have issues and send them running back to zucc

SimpleX, best anonymity. Not really what u are asking for in terms of use case. It's a great messenger app, but still needs some refining in their UX. But I still like to mention it. Probably Signal then.

Love it. Very easy to use and looks great, IMO.

Aye but things like same account use isn't quite there yet.

As in, you can connect your phone to a pc and use it from there. But then u can't use it on your phone, while connected with another device.... if i remember correctly.

At one point I had a group chat with my phone, home desktop, and work laptop. Whereas whatsapp u just connect once and go.

It's probaly to secure your privacy and technical stuff under the hood....

It's a great app nonetheless, so I shall always shill it over Signal lol.
