People really do fall for this. I believe this mainly affects the elderly. Not anyone using Lemmy, but it really does exist.

I do, luckily. But I’d rather not use any Meta apps.

I guess I’m at least lucky that marketplace isn’t used here primarily.

Right. I’m still used to the parent company being named Facebook.

Right. So arguably better than WhatsApp, where each users’ contact books, profile photos, bios, and each group chat name, picture and description is not E2E. But to call it ‘private’ is not logical, looking at the alternatives, of which some are much more private.

Say the US government, in a worst-case scenario in which it constantly monitors all traffic that goes through Signal’s data centers, can ‘only' see phone numbers, IP addresses and timestamps, right? Or am I forgetting something here?

I want to quit Facebook so badly, but I NEED to use WhatsApp. Family, friends, work even. All informal and semi-formal chats go through WhatsApp where I live.
