It's not easy to leave WhatsApp. I've transitioned to Signal a month ago and lost contact with a lot of people. My friends and family think I'm going crazy for attitudes like these. "You can't change the world on your own".. like that was the plan 😅
Thanks Musk, that was the motivation I needed to keep away from WhatsApp.
Obviously not a X/Twitter user, I'm not a fkin idiot.
Leaving is never really an option. But running the two apps side by side still works.
It varies, I guess. Some people might not be able to leave due to their job for example.
I left, it's an option for me. And I'm not coming back, I don't want to admit defeat.
I'm in an island now, it's annoying how these companies penetrated our lives.
What about using Matrix ?
I'm pretty sure that you can bridge Matrix with WhatsApp.
Matrix.Org - Bridges

I'll check that out. Thanks!
