I tried so hard to get chat apps working on my phone back in 2010...sigh.

Trillian was the best.

Beeper sets a good premise. Talk to your friends without ever bugging them about hopping over to a completely new app. You might convert some, but not most.

There's a downside to E2EE on bridged chats but if that's not acceptable within your threat model then you wouldn't be using it in the first place.

Hello Disa my old friend...

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, and they still aren't letting new users in, so it's kinda useless

[–] ijeff@lemdro.id 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They are. Anyone with an account can invite you to skip the waitlist.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Alas, neither the waitlist reaching me months later, nor meeting someone willing to send an invite have occurred lol.

Have you checked the pinned thread on Reddit? I know we mainly hate Reddit here but I’ve seen people having luck.

[–] ijeff@lemdro.id 1 points 1 year ago

Send me a PM and I'll pull mine up!
