But if Facebook came up and bought my messaging service I would be looking for an alternative as soon as I could instead of just going “oh I used this before and don’t want to change”. Obviously if WhatsApp is your only option then use it but keep it as minimal as possible. Or just don’t give a fuck like 90% of people 🤷♂️
I’ve brought up other services with some of my active groupchats, but nobody else cares or wants to switch. Soooo I’m stuck in Messenger+Whatsapp, Discord, Groupme (Microsoft), and Slack (Salesforce). At least I got out of Snapchat?

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
Sorry if it came off like that.
