Well, she could smear shit in her face as a half time show during the Super Bowl and it wouldn’t make a dent in her humiliation total, all things considered.
That’s the point - you are not unreachable if you’re not hooked up to Meta’s products. Far from it - at least from a European perspective. Threema and Wire are good European alternatives to Messenger, that are actually private. But also, the telephone has been invented, and so has sms and e-mail. The important thing is the human relationship, which continues to exist regardless of the app or technology you use to speak to each other.
I’m sorry, but I’m not sure I understand completely. Why would your phonenumber be long distance to them?
If anyone wants to talk to me, they’ll have to use one of the myriad ways to keep in touch that don’t involve Meta. I refuse to continue to be their product and help them keep the idea alive that they should somehow be unavoidable. Meta relies entirely on the relational networks of people, so I removed my node from their system and made their product a little worse for anybody interested in engaging with me. Life is better without Meta dopamin/rage addiction anyway.
Do people still use Meta’s products?
Threema is a good, encrypted, European alternative. Wire and Session might also be good.
