I want to connect my neighbourhood in some way, but I don't know how to handle this privacy friendly πŸ€”

we want to connect to coordinate .. lets say some gardening. we can handle first information via email, but afterwards it gets messy for the organizer. the neighbours don't care about privacy at all as far as I know so Element/Matrix won't work. and most of them don't have 'media literacy skills. should I give in and forget about a coordinated talking ground outside of neighbourhood meetings irl?

What's wrong with email? I'm assuming that you want privacy from big corps rather than government?

    I don't know why but I feel like that's too annoying if we have to coordinate in real time. I kinda compare sending emails to sending letters instead of chatting even if that's just stupid thinking haha

    It's really not that bad. As the other person said, the UX is down to the client you choose. It's an open protocol that everyone already has an account on.

    But if you can persuade everyone onto signal, then that's probably going to be better. I thought you were saying that wasn't possible as they "don't care about privacy".
