I’m thinking of the things listed on the Privacy Guides real-time communication section https://www.privacyguides.org/en/real-time-communication/
minus-squareScolding0513@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoboth have worse UX than Signal. pretty much all except Signal are lacking on this front. OSS developers are allergic to a smooth UX in general
minus-square01011@monero.townlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoxmpp has a variety of clients for desktop and mobile. You cannot dismiss them all as having worse ux than signal. The same is true for matrix.
minus-squareBearOfaTime@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoSignals UX is no better than SMS apps. People I’ve tried to convert all say the same thing. But it’s still the most secure/privacy minded messenger.
minus-squareDelusion6903@discuss.onlinelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoSignal has read receipts, reactions and typing indicators. That’s 90% of what any messenger needs. It also let’s you schedule texts. I do wish it would do reminders and pinch to resize text though.
