No wonder why WhatsApp isn't on Linux.
I have no clue how people trust whatsapp
i still need it for friends,family and stuff
The network effect is real. You can have the best, most awesomely-designed social media platform ever and it will be useless if you are the only person on it.
You can try to convince all your contacts to switch away from whatever app is causing the most evil today, but you also have to convince all of your contacts’ contacts and all of theirs as well.
I managed to overcome network effect with YouTube btw.
You mean a desktop application? If so you can use the web version, or even better, use Ferdium. It lets you connect to various messaging services and integrates them like a native desktop app.
Sounds like a cool app.
First time I heard of Ferdium. How's your experience using it? How is it compared to, say, Beeper?
I used ferdium and it used up alot of ram, beeper started breaking for me when doing simple things like refreshing chats.
If only there was a non electron based whatsapp or all in one messaging client which is RAM efficient and snappy
Like pidgin?
Wait pidgin still works?
Yeah, I use it daily. There is discord and teams plugins for it.
How to install whatsapp and telegram plugins?

I've never used beeper, but I've been using Ferdium for years I have all in one app:
- Hangouts
- Discord
- Element (Matrix)
- Nextcloud Chat
- Lemmy
