I’ve already moved off it, Mastodon is a much nicer feel. In fact I try not to use anything Meta including WhatsApp.
I'm trying to cure my immediate peer group by introducing and promoting Signal over Whatsapp. It's an uphill battle.
My family group decided to move when I spat the dummy after Meta decided to harvest all the contacts for WhatsApp users. Effectively they are the only ones I use messaging with but for getting others on is a long road.
how do i promote Signal for a family group without looking like an stupid AD? i hate whatsapp.
don't forget threads either. it was ripped entirely off of mastodon.
Always have laughed at Zuck’s claim that Threads had such a large user base just after the launch. By all accounts , anyone with a Meta account became a Threads user.
