I’ve recently discovered element and revolt as alternatives for discord and Snapchat. We mainly use Snapchat for text chat so not being able to send snaps is not a deal-breaker. It’s quite difficult to get people to switch over to something else because they know their current service and “it just works”. Snapchat for android is terrible and some of my friends agree so I wouldn’t say that “It just works”. I need some tips as to how to convince them to switch. Thanks in advance :-)
I’m unfamiliar with element and revolt. Someone suggested Session to me and it looks interesting. Jami sounds good in principle but it’s been too flaky to use for me so far. Jitsi Meet is maybe ok and I guess I’ll try it next.
Revolt is quite early in development so I wouldn’t recommend fully switching just yet, it’s open source so you can help contribute to them on their GitHub page. I try to stay away to stuff I don’t fully know can be trusted. I haven’t heard of session but I think it doesn’t quite matter where I get them to switch, but if I can get them to switch at all.
Just a word of warning re Session, it’s tied up with a blockchain token so if you’re not interested in cryptocurrency you might want to steer clear.
Guess I wasted 2 hours translating their services to Norwegian for nothing. Thanks for this info. I’ll get to deleting my account.
