Besides phone numbers/email, what contact methods do you find others expect you to use?
As an example, you’re having a good conversation but have to part, and the other person goes, “Oh btw are you on [social media/messaging app/whatever]?”
I think I already know what the common answer may be, but I’m curious to see how wrong I might be.
I have some friends who seem to inform each other of things via Instagram.
I also get a lot of weird SMS/MMS messages that I think have been generated automatically by iMessage to try and map things it has to things actually in the spec.
I usually ask the people I dont know much if they’re on simplex. The rest i usually ask to add me on signal. Massive groups I interact with are usually on discord but I move to simplex if they want a one on one discussion with me
The vast majority of people I speak with just use regular old text messaging. If it’s someone I meet via networking at work, I’ll occasionally get asked about LinkedIn; same thing but with Discord if it’s someone I meet gaming online.
That’s one of Google’s many attempts at a chat service, right? If so, can’t blame ya for being mildly confused…I can never keep up with which of those are still running.
