I understand that it may be problematic sometimes but this was very smooth. I didn't even say anything.

A: what's your number for the whatsapp group Me: I don't have whatsapp because of facebook. B: ok, we have to use signal then A: ok

And that was it. Life can be very easy sometimes

Now tell them you just switched to matrix and see if they'll follow

Never abuse kind people. That's what breaks them.

Its a joke if that wasn't obvious.

I don't have to. Matrix is coming anyway. It's not an if but a when.

For official (internal) company communication though I will advertise matrix instead of signal. I'll report back once I've talked to the right people about it.

Matrix can be pretty unstable at times

I like Mattermost but it isn't federated
