Didn’t ask for them, won’t use them. WhatsApp is not Twitter, is not Insta, is not TikTok, is not [insert social media name].

Forget channels, WhatsApp itself is trash. No point talking about trashy additions to a trashy spy product.

I just wish that people who know this, yet deliberately continue to use it, find the courage one day and say FU to Zuckerberg, and switch to alternatives.

I know, I know, it’s not really feasible (or some other excuse) to ditch WhatsApp in countries like Brazil and India, but I don’t belive it’s a completely impossible task either.

I’d switch to alternatives any day but unfortunately that would require these people to also switch:

  • family
  • friends
  • university course-mates
  • traineeship tutors
  • residents of the residence I am a representative for
  • the hardest one of all: your mother

Yeah, My family and friends all switched, but your mother is still adamant to using anything but WhatsApp

Pale imitations of Telegram’s channels.

Along with not imitating the much more needed features like replies tree window. Whatsapp is more personal than Telegram so maybe copy those type of features first
