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

    Thanks, I know about it but it’s above my technical level and self hosting means having a computer running 24/7 which I don’t want.

    I think Signal they (Signal and Threema) missed an opportunity to gain users by allowing an opt-in compatibility with Whatsapp.

      For environmental reasons? I bet there are “green” cloud providers out there. Unless you meant having your computer run 24/7, and then no.
