It's surprising how little it's actually used in NA, what else do they even use?

The majority of people use text messaging, which the FBI and CISA just recently warned people to quit using due to ongoing and unresolved Chinese hacks of the telecom networks.

But for privacy, some use Telegram (which we know isn't really private, but many think it is), and some use WhatsApp. There's a handful of us that have switched to Signal, Matrix, etc.
