  • Well, I tried.

    I refused to use messenger for about 6years and I tried to bring people to signal (at least ~most of my family still uses it), but after changing environment and essentially doing a semi-fresh start, I realized I had to give up some (much) privacy to have any social life.

    I’d really like not to have such a dilemma, but I dont think I would go very far with ~zero social life (would probably have strong depression, no friends and possibly many other issues).🥲 Fb is ~forcing it to us.

    At least while I might have lost some privacy, I help others gain privacy (I help them use/find open source, privacy respecting alternatives to various programs).

    Also, Signal really didnt help me convince people use it by requesting a phone number… Its hard to convince people that dont care much about privacy and want ease of access to give their phone number to an unknown app (I know it’s not that big of a deal, but they dont know what I know and dont care much even if I explain it to them).

    PS. I’m still not making an insta account tho😅
