How do you manage messages across multiple apps? (thelemmy.club)

Hey everyone,

Quick question out of curiosity.

I work as a manager in a consulting firm, and a lot of my day goes into communicating across platforms like Slack, WhatsApp, Teams, LinkedIn messages, etc. Switching between all of them sometimes feels a bit messy.

A couple of things I personally struggle with are important tasks getting buried in chats and constantly jumping between apps to keep up with conversations.

Would be great to hear how you handle this in your day-to-day work.

My point is it doesn't work, and you can't use the Beeper app with your self-hosted server.

But any app works. I tried Schildichat, Element, Fluffychat, Nekho and others.
The problem is not the app, they all work for what OP wants. It's just a bit of a hurdle to set up the server, but there are complete ansible-repos to do that.

Well you specifically referred to the Beeper app. And hosting your own won't solve the other problems I mentioned.

[–] Black616Angel@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I did not mention the beeper app.

And hosting is nearly flawless, I host a small server for me and a few friends and it works and has worked for years. (I should just update more often, but that is my fault)

Right, well, the person I replied to specifically mentioned the Beeper app. My mistake.

It does not work, for reasons I've specified in my original reply.

Ansible is toxic. Anything else?

This is probably this most unhelpful and toxic fucking comment, that was replied to any of my comments on Lemmy.

Congrats.

PS: And no, I don't want to know, why ansible is "toxic".
