@tscho I blast messaged all my friends telling them I'm deleting WA and to join Signal. None of them will, but I'm not going to continue using that service just because of FOMO.

@kev Good for you! I’m deleting mine by the end of the month. I got a message to agree to the terms. Nope. That’s not happening.

@kev I’m glad I read the articles before getting this message because I would have press agree, not knowing that I was agreeing to.

@kev Sigh, I'm torn because WhatsApp is the app almost everyone has to communicate especially outside the US and I have several important groups on it. I've just been closing the new terms but I'm gonna have to accept it at some point. Maybe then I'll have to ask people to switch to signal.

@sodality the problem is, if everyone stays on these platforms because "everyone else is on them" we will never make progress.If people really want to get in touch with you, they still have your mobile number.

@kev @sodality This argument is fine for 1-on-1 conversations. I might be able to persuade some people to contact me through other ways. The main problem (in my case) are the group chats. E.g. if I leave the WhatsApp groups for the football teams of my children I will simply not receive training/match information. Nobody else in that group will care that one person left.Or at least that's my fear...

@kev @sodality Yeah and if you want to keep WhatsApp installed for the moment you can (and should in my opinion) download Signal, so if some of your contacts download it they can see that you’ve got it. That could help because when I downloaded it, it was a bit sad when I saw 0 contacts. I’m going to delete my WhatsApp account by 8 February.

@kev @sodality having been researching it seems the only real alternative is matrix, all the other ones have the same if not worse flaws than what what's app has, at least within the eu.

@kev A good decision. I have never used WhatsApp. Instead, I use #Signal, #Threema and #Wire. So far, everyone who wants to be in contact with me has installed one of these messengers.

@kev I don't remember any major dropouts. However, I only use Wire for a few contacts. Maybe that's why I didn't notice anything. My main messenger is Threema...

@pantos not so much an outage, I seem to remember it coming out that there was a problem with their privacy or security and ultimately ended up being not all they were cracked up to be.

@kev You are right. I didn't notice it at all. It seems that there are uncertainties about the development of the company.https://mobile.twitter.com/brokep/status/1194392575442067456Good to know. Looks like I'll be using only two messengers now :blobthinkingeyes:

@agustinh same with me - lots of friends and family that use it, but I refuse to be beholden to FB just because others use it.They have my number if they want to talk to me, or they can install Signal. 🙂

Signal is a safe alternative? Or there are better options with the Molly fork of Signal

@kev @sodality Yea. Guess Signal is a good easy way for the beginning. Better would be some federated system for short messages (e.g. XMPP).An analogy for a digital Letter would be SMTP wich commonly is known as E-Mail.

@agustinh IMO opinion, Signal is a safe alternative. They don't know anything about their users. Doesn't get more safe than that.

@mjkpolo @FrancescoDiSales much prefer signal. I find Signal to be more of a messaging app, but Telegram more of a community/group chat app. I also like Signals disappearing messages.
