I understand that it may be problematic sometimes but this was very smooth. I didn’t even say anything.

A: what’s your number for the whatsapp group Me: I don’t have whatsapp because of facebook. B: ok, we have to use signal then A: ok

And that was it. Life can be very easy sometimes

    …to which for privacy reasons your team shouldn’t like SMS, Discord, Telegram, Slack, and probably even Signal (somewhat for privacy, & more for accessibility)

        XMPP. A business can self-host, there are public servers, or there are many businesses which offer customised xmpp hosting as a service.

        I can be federated with other xmpp servers or be a locked-down work-only service, or federate with chosen other servers (such as a client company’s xmpp servers).

          The main problem is, you need to have someone good enough to setup a proper firewall when selfhosting.

          Sure, it might not take $$$$, but it will take $, which is definitely more than nothing.

            If that’s the main problem then that’s easy to solve! Simply use a free public xmpp server.

            I mention the self- and paid-hosting options because businesses tend to like having a sevice agreement backed by a contract, and may have additional specialised requirements not provided by free services (xmpp or otherwise).
