    Let me just cut contact with most my friends, my parents and grandparents. Or have to call them. But still lose our group chats. That’ll surely improve my life.

    We actually held a poll in our friend group chat to switch to Signal, but the result was that everyone who was not very privacy concious didn’t want to move. Because everything else is still on Whatsapp.

      It isn’t about the privacy though. It is about the direct funding of meta. You are supporting meta which means, you support AI, data centers, environmental degradation, political manipulation, and billionaires.

      I can’t do it. Whatsapp is a non starter. Someone has to take a stand.

          Usually too busy to care. You enjoy funding a billionaire. Make your life worse because you can’t take a stand and are so needy for approval.

          Its a little inconvenient but not bad. Gotta start somewhere.
