Nah man, I value way more the contact with my mum and close friends than refusing to use an stupid app.
If my mum is in trouble and try to message me via WhatsApp: "sorry mum, I don't answer WhatsApp messages, good luck next time trying to get someone to help you". Nah man, that's so shitty.
So. They can choose the app, but you mustn't? That's a weird reasoning imho.
You know, there's still a thing like sms or email if they really have to and ignore my simple wishes.
Yeah, they do, that's what living in a society is, not everyone does as you want, and you have to compromise.I have my own choices (in other aspects) which they probably have to live with. But I'm not going to ghost my mum (and close family) just because she uses WhatsApp, that's plain entitlement and immaturity.
I can't contact my mum via msm (not the same country), and are you seriously suggesting email over chat messages? They serve two different purposes.
check out deltachat! it's for messaging.... over email!
