morning

Today was a good day to kill my WhatsApp account.

I saved me this pain years ago by never creating one. Now I see groups of whatsapp refugees I may have missed all this time poping up in telegram.

mccraigmccraig 2021-05-08T13:25:28.214500Z

i would find that very difficult to do @ramart - too hard to persuade too many people of why they should use signal instead

RAMart 2021-05-08T13:32:47.217300Z

Yes, it‘s hard. That‘s part of Facebook‘s market power. I just give it a try now and see how it will work out for me. 🤷

borkdude 2021-05-08T13:57:02.218Z

And if you have convinced some friends of solution a (signal) the other half is already on solution b (telegram)

pez 2021-05-08T14:44:24.218400Z

Telegram is sweet.

dharrigan 2021-05-08T15:11:16.218700Z

I removed WhatsApp a while ago, switched to Signal

mccraigmccraig 2021-05-08T15:21:05.219500Z

did you manage to convince your parents to switch to signal @dharrigan?

dharrigan 2021-05-08T15:21:38.220Z

My mum is 90+. She doesn't even have a mobile....

dharrigan 2021-05-08T15:21:47.220200Z

so easy to convince 🙂

mccraigmccraig 2021-05-08T15:24:21.221300Z

ha, both mine are in their 80s - but my mum very definitely has a mobile and once she's gotten used to using something one way is quite hard to convince to change

dharrigan 2021-05-08T15:26:11.221900Z

Mostly everyone I know has Signal too (either from themselves, or me refusing to communicate via WhatsApp ever again).
