It feels like realizing that WhatsApp is a terrible Meta privacy nightmare, but you can't wake up because you can't convince your whole family to use Signal.
Yeah, Facebook just started out as a social media company. Amazon just did book deliveries. Google was just a search engine. Then kept expanding into services that people couldn't really quit, but are privacy nightmares.
This focus on the social media aspect of reddit has felt kind of short sided, since it's not really considering the threat of what they could become. People think it's just about online clubs right now, but might be wishing later more people had made an effort to quit.
Many people advise to just quit it anyways and if your family actually cares about you, they'll switch. Works as a great relatives filter too.
I've tried, but Signal is just too cumbersome to use. I sorely miss a web client and my family members sorely miss an Android tablet client. This makes it hard to recommend.
