I only used Discord with a bunch of friends I play with, no “official game servers” so it was pretty easy
The hard task will be to have some other non-gaming friends to join, because they use Whatsapp (which me and my gaming friends refuse to touch)
Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?

I use Whatsapp for all my friends since in my region EVERYONE uses whatsapp. I have one cousin who uses Signal though, so that’s something.
I just use emails with my friends who are on Whatsapp
One of them migrated from Gmail to Protonmail so maybe he could help move to a “non GAFAM” environment

The SpamBlocker I was refering to is on Android (f-droid), I’m not sure about iOS

yeah it’s an android app. shame that apple is so restrictive on their app store policies

Well, no offense but getting away from Apple should be a great first step to fossify your digital life :)

Well just throwing away my phone us a really bad idea, don’t want to add to the e-waste. For the time being, I’ll try to use the phone until it dies before switching to a new phone.
