    It’s not easy to leave WhatsApp. I’ve transitioned to Signal a month ago and lost contact with a lot of people. My friends and family think I’m going crazy for attitudes like these. “You can’t change the world on your own”… like that was the plan 😅

    Thanks Musk, that was the motivation I needed to keep away from WhatsApp.

    Obviously not a X/Twitter user, I’m not a fkin idiot.

      I managed to get my parents and brother to switch to signal two years ago, never switched back and it’s always working, very easy to use. I’m pretty sure whatsapp will enshitify at such a rate that signal will absorb the users.

      It’s a slow and constant process of onboarding people to signal. I managed to onboard my local gaming group into using Signal after Trump got elected.

        If someone is only willing to communicate with you through WhatsApp, they don’t value your friendship.

        It varies, I guess. Some people might not be able to leave due to their job for example.

        I left, it’s an option for me. And I’m not coming back, I don’t want to admit defeat.

        I’m in an island now, it’s annoying how these companies penetrated our lives.
