@juancnuno@mastodon.social ok so from what I'm seeing, Matrix has incredible integrations (bridges) with Slack, Discord, Whatsapp, Telegram, Signal, etc... so you may be able to communicate with your friends using these bridges https://matrix.org/ecosystem/bridges/ (disclaimer: it's my day 2 on Matrix and I'm not sure yet how to make a bridge work)
@_elena Some of the companies that host those messaging services aren't amenable to third parties accessing them and will close your accounts. That's enough of a reason (there are others) for me not to play with the bridges. At least with accounts I care about.
If you're braver than me you might wanna give Beeper a whirl. Their business model is to package a nice, customized Matrix client and lots of bridges in an easily digestible package. https://www.beeper.com
@juancnuno@mastodon.social thank you for the brilliant suggestion Juan! Woooow!!! Definitely “brave enough” to try Beeper, LOL. And it was purchased by Automattic, which is a really good sign IMHO. I can’t thank you enough! Will try it ASAP
