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.

Are you sure? How does one connect to users on WhatsApp and Messenger from outside of Meta?
You mail them a fucking letter saying, “Leave meta.”
You call them on the phone and say, “Leave meta.”
You visit them in person and say, “Leave meta.”
Hack into a defunct spy satellite and carve “LEAVE META” in the countryside using its lasers.
People exist outside of meta. They breath, they eat, they shit. Find that pile of meat that exists outside of zuck’s servers and get a message to it.
Shit, how did people communicate before facebook?
Depending on how far we go, they’d have a scribe write down what they wanted to say.
We don’t live in those times anymore, and a good chunk of people would sooner not talk to you, rather than move a finger to change their ways.
Hence, the network effect.
That sounds like a problem that solves itself, and not a reason to put up with any fuckshit whatever from meta.
