Apparently Elon hates it when you call them swasticars, so definitely do not do that.

I'm guessing Friendica isn't big enough for what you're looking for?

Curiosity question, is it common where you're from for people to ask how you're doing as a form of greeting? I had always heard it was such an American thing to do.

We don't blame you. We're also sorry the loudest third of our population are uneducated crabs in a bucket pulling us all down.

Whaaaaa? For reals? It didn't let me automatically, so I assume you had to contact them?

Yup echoing most here. Unless you or someone you are paying are willing to put time and effort in to maintaining Matrix, go with Signal. It's like WhatsApp but actually secure and is appropriate for the vast majority of use cases.

Yeah, I'm just salty about the timing. I've already started the process, but if I had a crystal ball I would have downgraded to a year max, or maybe monthly.

Yeah, my two year contact just renewed with them before this happened. fml

Yeah, it doesn't use ActivityPub, but they are federated amongst themselves. So my NC can share documents seamlessly with my friend's NC even though we're on different domains.

I was confused at first, but it actually was pretty easy. They do need better documentation, but you start with Delta Chat and in a chat with someone (tested it with myself) you either link the downloaded file, or click apps and download it right into the chat. Then click to open.

It's kinda cool, and now they have on boarding "email-lite" servers instead of making you configure your own email address, though that's still an option. Don't know anyone who uses it though.

Yeah, that almost seems like giving them too much credit. I hope I'm wrong though.
