At least everyone knows now about Signal.

Gedanke zu #UnplugTrump, besonders #DeleteWhatsapp

Wenn ich nicht grundsätzlich gegen die Idee #MessengerGruppe bin, also #Signal statt #WhatsApp die Lösung ist, kann es eine Idee sein, einfach mit der eigen Lösung schneller zu sein.

Beispiel: Neue Situation steht an, z.B. Kind kommt bald in die #Schule;

Leuk hoor, al die nieuwe contacten op Signal (Matrix, XMPP), maar veel belangrijker:

Hebben jullie je Whatsapp account al verwijderd?

Comme tout ce que produit META What's App vous espionne et les données partent aux Etats-Unis où tout le monde semble s'écraser devant la nouvelle administration d'extrême droite.

Vous ne voulez pas cautionner ça ou préférez que vos discussions restent entre vous ? Passez à Signal !

Aus nicht-technischer Sicht werden aus politischer und sozialer Perspektive die Gründe beleuchtet, #WhatsApp zu meiden. Längerer guter und lesenswerter Artikel auf Netzpolitik.org.

Dopo aver resistito eroicamente per quasi un anno e fino all'ultimo uomo, cioè io, all'installazione di Uozzappe (merdassoluta) sul mio smartphone, mi hanno rifilato un device aziendale con il merdone preinstallato e già settato.
Pregandomi di usarlo.

Mi sono presentato così con il primo messaggio:

-- Carissimi,
da sempre, NON considero mex vocali più lunghi di 29 secondi. (il tempo di uno spot in TV)

*E anche quelli li considero molto poco...*

Evitate.
Buona giornata e buon lavoro a tutti. --

Non ho idea se sia stato apprezzato o meno ma questo è quanto.

Friendly reminder:

People, stop using #Meta, #Google, and other #BigTech Apps that make YOU the product!
There are already so many right-wing governments.
You compromise YOUR current or at least future security (e.g. profiling using LLMs.)
Use #Threema or @ least #Signal instead.

#DeleteWhatsApp
#DeleteThreads
#DeleteFacebook
#DeleteInstagram
#DeleteX
#DeleteTikTok
#DeGoogle your Android phone

Is it good to #DeleteWhatsapp when this means that some conversations have to move to SMS because not everyone has, or is willing to install, an alternative?
I am doubting this.
Messages to my boss have to go via SMS.
I also had to send messages to my grandparents via SMS.
So should I reinstall WhatsApp?

It's time to #DeleteWhatsApp - but how do you explain your friends & family in short and simple terms what the alternatives are besides running to Telegram or Signal?

In light of the absence of good summaries I've written an introduction to this much debated topic - hope you find it useful! Please share it if you want to
