| @lumeltix:matrix.org | hello everyone!! Casually I discovered this group and it´s very intersting matter!! One of the last reports that I have seen, and that I liked the most, is the one they did in January at the Free Software Foundation of India, and the scheme is very well done, especially in alternatives to WhatsApp . I leave the link....https://fsf.org.in/article/better-than-whatsapp/ | 17:26:39 |
| @lumeltix:matrix.org | But after spending a few months and seeing how these alternative programs are used, I must confess that at least in my country the outlook is bleak.
In social networks, the dominance of Facebook in all its apps (Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp) is, not to say, absolutely overwhelming and practically monopolistic,
It is followed by Twitter and Telegram quite a distance.
The use of Signal is testimonial, and if we already go to free and decentralized protocols, nobody uses them (neither XMPP, nor Matrix, nor TOX, nor I2P, ... nothing) Find someone using the Element or Fractal client in Matrix , find you someone using Movim,
Conversations or Quicksy or using one of my favorites, Jami ...., nobody uses them.
At the time, due to some censorship on Twitter, people went to Mastodon en masse, but it did not last long, finding you a forum in my native language is impossible.
The fediverso does not use anyone either, You Tube is the new TV,
just a few users on LBRY / Odysee on Bittube nothing and on Peertube practically nonexistent.
Applications derived from Signal, such as Session or Threema, are not used by anyone, and as for emails, practically everyone is already in Gmail or Outlook.com,
Yahoo with older users and only a few crazy people using Protonmail and Tutanota ... bleak | 17:44:43 |

| @lumeltix:matrix.org | And here comes a serious problem, to contact the public administrations, yes or yes, you have to use Microsoft Windows and Internet Explorer, or at most Firefox, although now they are updating the portals to be able to use Chrome.
Schools using Skype, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet or Zoom and parent groups using whatsapp.
WhatsApp positioning itself as the preferred tool to talk with your bank or business, professional consultations through Skype.
And there is no way to convince anyone, because when they synchronize their phone book with the Telegram or Signal app, and they see that there are barely four cats, they uninstall them ... this is what there is in Spain today | 17:55:02 |
