What instant messenger do you use to chat with friends, /g/?
I don't have friends.
Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp.
>>55048704
Why not?
>>55048704
/thread
>>55048697
SMS
>>55048697
I send open standart pigeons to evade botnet.

>I don't have friends.
This
Facebook messenger and Hangouts sometimes for business
If it were up to me I'd strictly use text messages. I hate this IM shit where people can "see" if you saw the message
https://whispersystems.org/
desktop app too. legit.
BBM
Pretty much only OP's pic related. Once in a new moon maybe Skype.
>>55048704
This. I just use it for the occassional message I get a month from some old associates checking in on whether I killed myself or not yet.
My and my friends all run our own XMPP servers, and we connect to each other by using S2S.
>>55048697
AIM
MSN
Steam
Yahoo Chat
ICQ
in that order
>>55048697
iMessage
We use Signal, by https://whispersystems.org/
>>55048697
qTox...
But in all seriousness, I usually just text them (if my phone isn't dead, like it is right now..)
Signal like some guys above. Every friend of mine is using it and it can be possible because everyone of them is scared of invigilation or use drugs.
Telegram
>>55048697
Whatsapp to talk with family and very close friends. I miss MSN Messenger tho.
bit message
>>55049145
qTox look promising but I suspect it would be difficult convincing others to try it.
>>55048960
kek
QQ, WeChat, Skype, fb messenger....in that order
Hangouts. Simply the best option
Normalfagbook messenger and hangouts.
Skype for D&D with family few times a month.
Facebook messenger, unfortunately.
Messenger and Discord.
>>55049200
Yep. People are use to having something like an account that they can get into from anywhere.
If you want to log into Tox on another computer, you need to copy your profile onto that computer.
Its design philosophy makes it inherently user-unfriendly, unfortunately.
>>55048734
Same here... Anyway most people are normies in normie land
Disa would be awesome if it had Steam chat.
Telegram.
definitely one of the best.
Telegram, fb, and sms
>>55049022
>MSN
MSN was shut down like 5 years ago.
>>55049706
That's the joke ;-)
>>55048734
I have friends and I don't make any smalltalk.
>>55049706
Don't remind me.
Anyone uses Signal?
Steam for friends
Facebook for colleagues
I don't play videogames or use facebook otherwise. People are too resistant to change.
Whatsapp bro, you're a weirdo if you use anything else (at least in my country/region)
>friends
Kik, specifically CryKik
Facebook Messenger, Skype, and Discord. Different groups of friends prefer different platforms.

>>55050308
steams IM is rather mediocre, but I guess its easier than getting multiple people to migrate to another service
WhatsApp. People over here use it over SMS.
Facebook, because they refuse to all use anything else together.
I only use carrier pigeons.
>>55048704
first post, best post
yea, i have zero friends
>>55048697
telegram. it is, with the really no other app being close, the most used chat app in iran, with like 25 million users in a country with 70 mil population. and now that it has channels it's the place where most people get their news, and it's so widely adapted that government agencies and news agencies have channels on it. it's pretty much the only app that anyone with an smartphone is guaranteed to have
also unrelated but i'm really glad that skype is going the way of the dodo. that shit was horrible 10 years ago and it's horrible now.
>>55049027
where i live, while the number of iphones is pretty high (i would say like 30% of all smartphones) no one uses imessage. i guess cutting out all your android friends or having to use two ways to chat is just inconvenient, also group chats become hard to make. in america where imessage is used is it just assumed that everyone has iphones? what happens to android people?
>>55048697
I don't have friends, never really had. To IM with my gf and coworkers I use telegram though. Seems to be the best choice really atm.
>>55048697
>friends
>>55048697
Well Facebook are cunts now and won't let you message from their app, I used Tinfoil anyways but that just causes a crash.
I use an app named Disa for Facebook messages, only because there are a lot of people I deal with for work that I either don't want to have my number or aren't close enough/frequently contact enough to justify it
I have them all
Fired up and ready to go
Any time
Just message me
I'll respond straight away with an insightful and slightly witty reply, and am also open to keeping a conversation going with banter
Seriously I have every messenger app, it's almost impossible to NOT speak with me

I have to use the bloated buggy garbage that is Messenger cause nobody wants to use anything else. I tried convincing people to start using Telegram but they prefer to use Zuckershlomo's shitty client for reasons unknown.
>>55048697
Most of the people I know stick to SMS. FB if grup is necessary, but my friends know I refuse to install the FB/messenger app so they don't expect me to read group messages right away.

I have group messaging from the default messaging app on my phone though.
Whatsapp with friends&family
SMS for more official communication
Hangouts with single 1337 friend that works in IT
>>55053833
use Pidgin with purple-facebook. For mobile, I dunno.
>>55053918
That's MMS based. Technically MMS has group messaging capabilities, but it heavily depends on your carrier and how new your phone is. If it works for all your friends it's the way to go though.

I hate Skype. But I haven't quite found the perfect alternative to convince my friends and family to move to.
Needs to have group video chat for family. File sharing and group voice chat for friends. I would prefer if it let me use different usernames that different groups of contacts can see, but I can work without that. It needs to be user friendly. And it needs to have a solid enough mobile app for both iPhone and Android.
As awful as Skype is, it's the only one that has all those requirements, while missing the optional feature, but, eh, as I said, it's optional.
Unfortunately Skype also has all the crap you guys already know about. But there's no true viable alternative as far as I can find, yet!
Shitbook messenger if I have to.
Aside from that, IRC (not recently because it can be a time hog and I have 0 discipline).
>>55054168
Forgot one. Used Discord when I was on Winblows.
It was kinda better than Skype but it surely feels bloated af. I heard it's written in js...

they didn't move anything and it's still working. that was just some bs scare tactics. telegram won't ever care about that, although they have a lot of users in iran it's not like they monetize the app in any way

For some reason Messenger for friends. More or less exclusively that + regular phone messages rarely.
For family and coworkers, Whatsapp.

I had other friends before that too but we diverged. And the best one moved with his mom to Wisconsin and his dad didn't like him spending the night when he was in town and last I checked on Facebook he was in a Camaro club. Camaro is what you buy when you can't afford a real sports car.

>>55048697
Gmail. I don't use an IM.
>>55048697
I mosty use Facebook Messenger because that is what everyone uses.
I really need to get one that will give me a local US phone number so that anyone can call me local and I can answer on my cell/computer. Is skype the only one doing it?
I will switch to Signal when they stop doing dumb shit like not using OPUS for their calls.
I have to use fucking Kik and snapchat. Someone shoot me.
>>55066134
Snapchat is so much fun desu, just post stories of you doing intresting things or with friends

Facebook Messenger, sadly.
I just text, use Hangouts and email people.
I don't really use IM that much. If somebody wants to talk to me, they usually just call or text me.

Telegram. There's nothing else that's easy to use, yet secure enough. I know Telegram's encryption isn't actually good so that's an issue. It's too bad there just isn't anything else (and easy to use).

So naive.
>>55070685
This.
A lot of the nerdy kinds of people underestimate themselves.
>>55070665
If you just chill out and get to know people a bit, that opens the door to so many opportunities.
If you can't chill out, then go for drinks and practice talking to people a little. Go just a little bit outside your comfort zone. Find people with similar personalities but entirely differing interests from you.
And remember, as long as you're sitting around torrenting gentoo ISOs, your chance of meeting a woman is zero.
Just talk to people and you may eventually be surprised to find a girl that likes you.
What'sApp and Telegram
>>55070730
it sounds like the naive person is the one who hasn't tried putting himself out there.
