I have Messager app fatigue at this point (where I live).

- Doctors offices and official services use SMS.

- Some of my close family and friends use Signal (on my pressure).

- The distant boomers use Facebook Messenger

- With the younger people they use Snapchat.

- Almost everyone else in the country uses Whatsapp as that's the dominant messaging app.

- My friends who live in Berlin use Telegram

- Online communities for tinkering and foss projects require Discord.

God I miss the 2000s.

> God I miss the 2000s.

Exactly! Having to check 27 different places for messages (also add individual sites like linkedin, etc, where people message), it is completely ridiculous.

Just send me email. It's universal, standard, no corporation owns it (thus no corportation can shut me out unlike facebook or all the proprietary solutions).
