Fuck I wish my old elementary school friends and parents wouldn't use Messenger. I'm eternslly stuck on that platform.
Does Whatsapp connect to messenger like Instagram does? Not sure it's any better though, since it's still owned by Meta. I wish I could get everyone on signal
No, WhatsApp doesn’t.
Does Signal do end to end encryption? That's why I use telegram.
Yeah, encryption and security is signal's whole thing. They even removed the ability to send SMS a while back because they were prioritizing security over all else. Def check it out
Gotcha, thanks.
Of course it does? That's like one of the main headlining features of both Signal and Telegram, and why people were looking at either instead of Whatsapp. And it was even louder than Telegram about it, since telegram uses (or used) a closed source encryption, while Signal was vocally using an Open Source encryption standard if I remember correctly.
i saw one person do something like this: messages JOIN ME ON SIGNAL(or anything not owned by Facebook and amazon) IF YOU DON'T WANT TO WELL WILL LOSE CONTACT SO PLEASE JOIN ME
im not sure on how well this will work but maybe exclude you're family but try to get them to atleast WhatsApp but even better a private messager also consider xmpp/jabber and matrix for jabber i recommend calyx institute jabber server
try to get them to atleast WhatsApp
WhatsApp is also owned by Facebook, so switching to that from Messenger is a bit like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
You can trial out a new platform called beeper.com
It allows you to add all your chats to 1 platform. It's in selected participants mode currently.
Ahh thank you for the Beeper reminder! I'm still on the waitlist tho. :(
Yh same :-(
You're not stuck. Just leave, and make people talk to you over Signal. If they're not trying to talk to me on Signal or Matrix, I will never see it. This not only got me off of services like Messenger, but also showed who gave enough of a shit about me to go through Signal's simple setup.

Telegram or Signal. Whatsapp is owned by Meta
WhatsApp is facebook, it's not an improvement in the slightest
