So, how can I convince my family to use matrix.org instead of WhatsApp?

@fatboy this isn't easy for a dude that has his whole university using it.. Not to forget his relatives and friends too.

@person WhatsApp is really the worst of them all, it looks like a normal and private messaging service but has a lot of abstractions that are very hard to look at.And reading the terms of service as well as the privacy policy is like entering infinitely parallel gates of hell.

@kriive I like the way signal does stuff but it's only issue right now is #decentralisation That's why I'd go for matrix.org

@zigpress @kriive I guess I'll have to leave whatsapp as a compromise for now, and they say that updating the app forces me to agree to their terms and I have a very old version that didn't even show that warning, So as far as I'm concerned my data might be still safe.And there's a nice app that shows trackers that apps try to access and blocks them, it shows me that WhatsApp is trying to access Facebook and Google but they got blocked several times.

@zigpress I like the idea and done it with Instagram and Snapchat, the issue is that I can't talk to the same students in my class without the app, So I might try and seize communication there several times until they find an another way to contact me, Thanks for the suggestion!

@Matter I think it's a nice idea to tell them that it'll be getting ads soon, Though they don't care about their data being sold they think that they don't have anything to hide, I did enough to convince them about that stuff though I hope they listen to me when I'm switching to matrix.

@Matter I think they have enough knowledge to use element.io, the issue is if they actively use other 'Social' apps that make them forget what they're supposed to do.

@kambing works perfectly for me, maybe if you file an issue on github or try to contact the dev @privacybrowser

@wizzwizz4 Friendica's pretty cool, though underpopulated I'd say.
