Hi friends,
I’m new to Lemmy but I think I like where it is heading in general. I would like to ask, do you have any specific apps used for ?
As a community that seems more focused on decentralized platforms, I thought this could spike up an interesting discussion
I have been using mainly Viber and FB messenger. I did try to convince friends and family to move over to simpleXchat, as it seems the most privacy focused alternative I have found, but basically failed.
I would love to hear your input!
- Uninstall WhatsApp
- Family+friends will get notification that you left in every group you were in, and lose their shit. They will call you asking wtf is happening
- Try to calm the waters by telling them you found out Meta is a bad company and you don’t want to participate it
- Get confusing looks and asked wtf is wrong with you
- Try to divert the complexity of the subject by mentioning that they can just download Signal and reach you there
- Get scoffed and manage to get one or two nearest friends on your Signal app
- Still get contacted by everyone’s else on whatsapp and by your grandmother on FB messenger , although you ain’t there
- Sucessfully managed to keep your 2 contacts on Signal and even see it growing to 4 over a year.
- Wait till Signal fucks up, delete it, install SimpleX, start over again
