minus-square@gnuplusmatt@reddthat.comlinkfedilink30•edit-21 year agodiscord is my compromise platform, because the only other platform all my friends could agree on was whatsapp, and fuck meta
minus-square@stebo02@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilink9•1 year agoThey agree on WhatsApp? All my friends want to stick to the horrible Facebook Messenger for some reason.
minus-square@gnuplusmatt@reddthat.comlinkfedilink6•1 year agoWe’re a weird mix of nerds in our mid to late 30s, some care enough about privacy to not have Facebook, but had been on whatsapp since pre meta. Some refuse to install new apps, because “ugh not another one” Definitely a compromise
minus-square@KeenFlame@feddit.nulinkfedilink6•1 year agoThey want to appear to care about privacy, you mean. Because all of those apps own (literally or is their property) every image text and other data you give it
minus-square@gnuplusmatt@reddthat.comlinkfedilink1•1 year agothere are levels of data hygiene and levels of inconvenience people willing to put up with. Pumping less data points into the machine is still better than pumping more
minus-square@KeenFlame@feddit.nulinkfedilink1•1 year agoI don’t agree. Pumping more is better if you don’t care. Because then it can provide the services of knowing you.

minus-square@gnuplusmatt@reddthat.comlinkfedilink8•1 year agoit was a difficult choice - I pushed for them all to join signal, but there were some holdouts. Whatsapp was e2ee, which discord is not. Discord can run in a webbrowser or a sandboxed flatpak on my desktop. All messengers suck, what ya gonna do?
minus-square@lemmesay@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agowell, both are terrible choices. discord: no end-to-end encryption whatsapp: mobile number is your identity but yeah, it’s pick you poison.
