What could possibly go wrong?!

Also, it’s really cool how everything is going straight to hell. /s

You won't miss it for long. If you are looking for some sort of ethical trigger, it's already happened man, don't kid yourself, it's an addiction.

It's been happening for years. I've been wanting out since before Trump's first term.

I'm not addicted though, I don't even use Facebook. I only use the Messenger to write with my friends. But I want to move the remaining two most contacted over to Signal. They refuse. Say "I don't want another app. I'm too old for new shit." 😩 They are in their thirties and grew up watching the Internet evolve, how are they this bad.

I deleted Facebook, messenger and WhatsApp. Anyone who doesn't want to use signal has my number to SMS text. Which is shit and chargeable. They may come around.

I wish I could delete WhatsApp as well but my 68-year old dad is on that and my badminton and work connections are there. Especially a lot of badminton people use WhatsApp (middle and east Asians seem to use that a lot). At least it's E2EE. 😬
