Of course it can’t work right away for everyone. But it’s a conversation you can have, explain your concerns, why it would be better to move on to a different software.

I used to talk to my family over WhatsApp, until they had a 24h outage and we switched to Signal, to never come back. But I still have dozens of other people there who won’t switch. At some point it’s a tradeoff you decide to make

i’ve moved my communication to Signal, it’s been good so far and i haven’t heard of privacy-related incidents

yeah it’s probable better not committing additional information, they won’t collect more about you if you never use it

All the power to you! We need to normalize keeping in touch with each other in a more personal way. They robbed writing thoughtful letters, postcards and greeting cards from us.

Time to close all your accounts on anything owned by Meta, y’all. There is a Fediverse or privacy-oriented version of everything they do. And maybe you won’t find the same people there, but you certainly will find new ones that are definitely worth your time and attention. Ad-free. Nazi-bootlicker-free.
