I personnally use a lot of applications, most of all because my contacts use different apps. My favourite is Viber. I had also tried an android chat application that didn't store messages on a server, but only send them when both contacts were online, but I think the project got discontinued. I forgot the name of the app, I'll find it and let you know (:

Signal is all I use. For backup I'd use wikr

Got rid of all my social media and I hate texting so in person definitely takes the cake here.

Riot.im/Matrix and Tox seem kinda neat, but nobody uses them.
In-person is stressful.
Hm, you're right about other services. Seems neat, but no one will ever use them. Discord marketed themselves really well and is so simplistic that anyone could use it.

Isn't this social media basically?....

Seems interesting, but sounds like Skype in the old days.

The forum ? I wouldn't call it that, but I guess it depends on the individual

Now this Is what I enjoy reading.
I've "never" had a (real) social media account, and never will. Texting Is too frustrating- I need speed and a full-size keyboard Is what I always utilize.

I never really understood social media. People don't understand it's not a free product because you are the product that the social media company's sell. Texting really? You ever try a bluetooth keyboard while texting?

It's not very practical when going to work and sitting on a train, or hooking It up whilst working and stocking shelves. I only text for work purposes.
I don't have the time (nor the Interest) to text at home, so everyone Is aware to make a quick call.
I see your point, though.
