Great graphic! The only things I use on this list are reddit and youtube. Trying peertube now. I’m confused about whatsapp and facebook messenger - don’t people just use the texting app that comes with their phone?
Yes but I also don’t much GAF about my phone. I only use it for calls and texting and as a camera. Can’t enjoy games or videos on such a small device, let alone writing code, so I mostly ignore it.
Sms is bad if you care about privacy, but great for voyeurs.
I frequently send dick pics between two of my phone numbers with fake messages about selling drugs and blowing things up attached, triggering them for a manual review in the government/carrier’s office.
Signal is very useful for minorities and anyone who’s actually planning a terrorist attack.

No one pays for SMS.
SMS is generally free and unlimited with almost any postpaid mobile plan. If you’re still paying for SMS then you should switch providers.
SMS is so ass, I can’t even.
Then it’s official. SMS is so ass, one cannot even.
Any chance you’re American?

You can’t text abroad for free. I guess texting is fine if you only communicate within the country.

I don’t send dick pics or plan terrorist attacks, so if voyeurs or Big Gubmint snoop on my texts they’ll be disappointed.
Briar is better for particular dangerous situations, SimpleX is a ‘more confy’ great alternative.
One thing to keep in mind: briar DOES disclose MAC addresses for all interfaces, to enable contact discovery and routing.
Not a show stopper, but it is something to be aware of.
