Hi guys, I want to communicate with people here via chat if possible, and just wondering what people here are using?

I want to use a protocol if possible, and definitely not discord or some other software run by a corporation. Obviously IRC was the thing to use back in the day. Do people still use it or something else?

I love the fediverse and the idea of getting away from the big tech companies, and am looking for whatever real time chat software is recommended right now. Thanks.

    Signal as it’s easy to convince others to use it, with a slick onboarding and WhatsApp feel. Matrix is the true future for messaging ofc, but it’s new user experience isn’t friendly enough for mass adoption yet
