Do not try to install this shitty app
gg is ancient, and also requires so little resources that there’s barebones client released as openwrt package
Nice, it even comes with a happy coronavirus logo!
But… why? We have signal, and telegram too.
SimpleX and Matrix are great as well.
they’ve stated that with the new version they’re trying to be a Slack replacement, there’s going to be an AI assistant built in, and the free tier will only let you contact 25 people.
Never mind then. Back to Signal
it’s never been end-to-end encrypted, either, and I don’t think this rewrite is going to be.
oh, and your account gets its unique number, that you need to give away to people in order to contact them, which limits the discoverability among your phone contacts, which you get with Whatsapp or Signal. it basically used to be Poland’s local ICQ equivalent.
and its default message sound was supremeICQ, now that’s a blast from the past!!
GG is around for over 25 years AFAIK :) It was dominant communicator used in Poland before Google and Facebook came. Those were different times and GG was most probably owned by someone else, it was also called GaduGadu.
EDIT: looks like Wikipedia has a nice article on it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadu-Gadu And the owner has not changed?
