    I got my family’s chat onto signal as neither I nor my partner have Facebook accounts and they were using messenger

    I deleted my old Facebook account to bring that situation about, though

      Good for you. I wish my friends cared enough about privacy. I need more tech bro friends I guess.

          That’s the thing. My friends don’t care about the problem. It’s not important enough. 😭

              It freaking does. I want to use good apps, but I can’t use good apps. In fact, the only people I am able to convince are my fiancee and my one friend, both female, both tech illiterates (boy let me tell you).

              It’s kind of funny. They’re buying the fact that big tech is “spying”/collecting data on us more than my more tech-savvy (male) friends. Or at least, it matters more to my less techy peers, it seems. Maybe my male friends have too much pride, and/or are too lazy to switch? Idfk.

              Always talking about “I don’t want another app”. Bitch all we do is just press notifications anyway. Who cares which app it takes us to if you don’t care about privacy. I’m the one who cares, humor me! 🥲
