I'm trying out matrix with my close family and it's working great. Bonus points it doesn't require a phone number or even a phone at all. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] AnotherPerson@lemmy.world 12 points 3 years ago (1 child) Last time I tried to introducing my family to an alternate messaging that wasn't the default app on their phone I started getting messages in both places with no rhyme or reason to why they would use one over the other. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] CaptainAniki@lemmy.flight-crew.org 10 points 3 years ago (2 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Paradox@lemdro.id 10 points 3 years ago Don't forget to take your hemorrhoid cream Bobby xoxo mom permalink fedilink source parent [–] AnotherPerson@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago Hmm...

They announced they will be moving to Jibe from Google, but no time line is available AFAIK. Until then we are stuck with a broken RCS implementation. permalink fedilink source parent
