None. A Phone number and email is more than enough.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

MODERATORS
WhatsApp is the go-to thing around here
We trade callsigns and frequencies or repeaters. CQ CQ CQ.
Someone at work was upset that I didn't respond to their G Chat. 🤨
That's one of Google's many attempts at a chat service, right? If so, can't blame ya for being mildly confused...I can never keep up with which of those are still running.
Insta where I’m from, which is fine, unless you don’t have an account like me 🤷♂️
Whatsapp whenever I’m traveling.
WhatsApp if I'm talking to an Indian crowd, Instagram or Snapchat otherwise
I don't happen to use any of the above though
Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, LinkedIn
I usually ask the people I dont know much if they're on simplex. The rest i usually ask to add me on signal. Massive groups I interact with are usually on discord but I move to simplex if they want a one on one discussion with me
I have some friends who seem to inform each other of things via Instagram.
I also get a lot of weird SMS/MMS messages that I think have been generated automatically by iMessage to try and map things it has to things actually in the spec.
Those friends do it via goofy images, right? It's Instagram, that's gotta be required by the terms of service, else what's the point? lmao
Facebook Messenger. I hate Facebook but I had to create an account so I can communicate with my coworkers.
AIM/ICQ. Hello from the nineties.
The vast majority of people I speak with just use regular old text messaging. If it's someone I meet via networking at work, I'll occasionally get asked about LinkedIn; same thing but with Discord if it's someone I meet gaming online.
In Thailand it’s 100% Line.
Sales people for both buying a house and a car wanted to exchange Line info. They were baffled both that I didn’t have line and that I would want to exchange phone numbers.
WhatsApp. Wished that it was Signal.

- friends/clubs - facebook
Insta where I’m from, which is fine, unless you don’t have an account like me 🤷♂️
Meta Messenger for younger people, WhatsApp for older people.
