      What’s WhatsApp?

      Edit: nm i googled it. It’s a way to sacrifice your privacy and security while supporting an evil company. I’m cool…

        As if iMessage, the platform that requires hardware from a specific company, is much better.

          There are more than two options for messaging now.

          Both primary phone platforms are kinda shit though.

          I’m a Signal man myself but iMessage’s faults don’t make WhatsApp any better and that’s a blatant whataboutism, fuck!

          Compton fool! But i think the real excuse is I’m old and don’t do social media other than this.

              Awesome! You should definitely investigate Signal and start recommending it to others. Meta is evil and can’t be trusted. Or privacy is critical to our survival. Party on, Comrade

                I was a Signal fan until they decided to drop SMS. Now it’s just an app with 1% of my friends.

                    Because that’s the universal text messaging platform - everybody’s got it. And because we’re receiving messages from companies via SMS.
