Damn. Glad I didn't ever get around to trying it out.
You hit the nail on the head. I use these services to avoid being part of the big corporate ecosystem otherwise I would have just stayed on WhatsApp.

I'm now a #Fosstodon patreon supporter. This instance is focused on open source devs. We're the ones who understand what it takes to deploy and maintain reliable sites. We're the ones who have been there. We've been that person building infrastructure with too few resources and too little help. If any community can rally to avoid the failure mode of expecting too much sacrifice from a small number of overworked, underappreciated devs, it's us. So let's do better.
