    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. 😬
