Here in South Europe people mostly use Viber. Edit: I was very unaware about situation in Southern Europe as I’ve learned from this post… Most people in Croatia use Viber!

    Signal for everything.

    There are a couple people who are too lazy to get Signal, and they got iPhones, so I set up an iMessage server to forward messages to my GrapheneOS phone.

    But the communication there is extremely sparse and surface level. It’s basically just a touch point. The real conversations all go through Signal.

        Maybe a good idea for a blog post, but the general gist is this:

        1. Buy an old/cheap Mac mini
        2. Set up AirMessage or BlueBubbles (open source)
        3. Run a command or get an app so keep your Mac mini (or whatever other Apple device you’re using) awake 24/7

        The messages will get delivered to your Mac, and then forwarded to your phone via AirMessage or BlueBubbles.
