      How am I supposed to message people when the only messaging app they use is whatsapp and facebook messenger (which I don’t use)?

      I guess the only easy alternative is to use SMS and email since everyone use it. But it is not safe.

      I am always open to alternatives like Signal, Element,etc. But no one use them. I am not going to force people to use a messaging app.

        As a workaround, you can bridge most services to Matrix. I currently bridge Telegram, Signal and SMS to my Matrix server and only need Element on my phone and desktop.

        Unfortunately Element is fairly focused on business users, would be cool if they could host bridges for individuals to make the barrier of entry easier.
