I don’t use apps like whatsapp or skype because they sell my data and don’t trust them.
I was hoping for a foss alternative to talk to my parents, regular folk who need something easy to set up on their android devices, ideally through fdroid.
I don’t want to reveal a real phone number because I don’t want ads from nobody.
I don’t need to see my parent’s faces, I just need to talk to them and maybe send files and lines of text.
Recently started using this myself.
Tried a videocall and worked ok.
Thought I’d knock up a prosidy server at home to make it even more private, but haven’t got to that yet
(And, yeah, awkward name…)
