They can suck my balls on WhatsApp
Groups in Signal and Threema. For my grandmother, WhatsApp (she doesn’t want to use more than one app and her friends are on that one) or calling (because her grasp of that app isn’t quite complete.)
They can hire a private eye and try to find me that way.
Telegram mostly. We have multiple Telegram groups for family
Bold of you to assume that I have family that I want to keep in touch with. Entire family tree is twisted and gnarled, and full of white-trash sociopaths and narcissists.
For the one remaining person I might keep in touch with, it’s a text message at holidays.
Whatsapp and calls. I tried to get them to migrate to Signal but they won’t.
My mother and my kiddo live with me. I don’t really have any other family.
Feature rich and easy setup/usage.
I use this alien technology called a phone.
Delta Chat is encypted packets sent over email. Easy for whole family. Send, text, pics, files, push-to-talk messages, Jitsi videocall integration
Has an alternate UI too, DeltaLab.
I don’t use any social media. I give my phone number to family members. They can call/text if try want to reach me.
Giant group texts. One has over 30 people, mostly used for baby/marriage announcements. Then a bunch of other group texts for different social groups (stoners, siblings, camping, etc).
Threema or text messages. Sometimes calls.
Stay in contact with family? No thanks
Had to scroll too far down to find this. Amen.
My younger brother. He’s on social media platforms. He’s my link to the rest of the clan.
