I will never understand anyone who uses Meta products. How much shit does that company need to do before yalls gtfo? Like fr, why are you using WhatsApp when Signal or a million other messaging systems are available?
I've tried moving to signal but at most I have about 3 friends that use it with me, it simply not possible to dump it completely and remain in contact with all my friends and family members.
I told my people it's Signal or you're simply not hearing from me.
It just means you're excluded from a lot of stuff or just aren't messaged to. Which is a choice but big groups especially are just going to use what most use, they aren't moving to Signal because someone refuses to use something else.
Would be cool if they were meaningfully interoperable, private and secure. That's the dream
I don't know, matrix bridges exist, and while stability is a problem, a bigger one is that I don't want my messages to be sent to facebook services at all.
