(If anyone bothered to check my bio, it would be easy to figure out. lol)

Wrong country ;)

Wrong continent ;)

This might be good middle ground. The last time I tried beeper, the apps is kinda … suck tho. Well, at least it not full of ads!

Does it still require user to install their desktop app first?

The most important people in my life is my family, especially my parents. Teaching them to try new app to chat to me is easy enough but all of their friends and groups are still on whatsapp.

Making them juggle between two apps (separating how they interact to me and totheir friends) is not easy. Justifying it is even harder, they simply don’t care (to understand) the implication.

Rather than make them confused and worried about not being able to contact me, I just have to accept the status quo. It is the conclusion I arrive at.

Must be nice tho to not use any Meta product. :)

Already did that months ago when they change the term of services and people are aware of it at the time. Many install Signal, tried them, signal got overloaded, experience degraded, people are back to Whatsapp. Now only dead account are there. Telegram is more popular but that is just jumping from crocodile’s mouth to shark’s.

Government agencies, company customee services all relies on Whatsapp. They have emails but if you want to get response in timely manners, Whatsapp is the way to go (Or twitter, again another bad alternatives).

At least it is still E2E (supposedly), so it is not all bad. Look, I know I sound pessimistic because I am (at least in this specific topic). I hope everyone else can do better than me, cheers!

This is one of the train that impossible for me to get off. It is very ubiquitous in my country to use whatsapp instead of text. I must suck it up I guess. 😅

I like game emulation and to manage my ROM library, I use Geode-GEM. It is simple but cusomizable app to manage your ROM based on console and emulator you have.

That is honestly surprising, I thought we were cautious about it at !solus@piefied.social . We already defaulted to Wayland on Plasma and Gnome for about a year (IIRC).
