and people would not be on facebook,instagram,snapchat etc etc either
Are you a Pakistani pedophile? Why the hell are you on whatsapp
what are the better alternatives to facebook, instagram and snapchat, though? I thought those have no real competitor in their field
europe is on whatsapp
whatsapp is sms for us
I could turn that question around on you, Matt
Signal, you dumb kike
why the fuck is America still texting using sms?
*I* don't text using SMS
<:soy:589104157248585749>
america is the only reason RCS exists, CMV
if america wasn't so stuck on SMS, the damn protocol would actually be close to dying
like cassettes
@Cole its not really that there is no alternatives its the "everyone is there/ it was first" effect
no matter how much abuse and shitty service they get
they stay cause "mah everyone else"
yeah
tho also given giving alternative smaller plantforms to our friends is on us who know more about technology
but still, _are_ there usable alternatives to facebook, instagram and ok let's kill snapchat who the fuck cares about snapchat
snapchat is darn popular hell people use it to just chat ...
with 2 lines of text and picture of floor
I use Facebook, Signal, and Discord
thousands of terabytes of floor pictures
I lurk on twitter, but never tweet personally
snapchat owned by the flooring lobby
@Cole for facebook it would be your own blog-plantform where your friends can leave messages and follow you at will without bullshit (also it would replace instagram too at same time))
yes, you're describing how an alternative could work
but does the alternative exist now
but do we suggest or support our friends doing that ? nope cause we dont want to be customer support
don't give me 'nam flashbacks about being CS for bullshit
aka mastodon and friends
"oh hey you know a lot about _stuff_ could you help me with _incredibly unreasonable and/or retarded request_"
and ofc ostatus/fediverse world
<:kms:327934280619655179>
i mean pump.io/mastodon/etc for microblogging, peertube and peerpx for imgur and youtueb replacement, write.as for proper blogs, etc etc etc etc
pubcast for podscasts and what not
sure throwing all those shits up for friends takes some time
and requires your friends to trust you with keys to kingdom technicaly
alternatively, come to terms with the fact that all your data has already been bought and sold, and you really aren't that interesting anyway, so just use the services everyone else is using
Autismos with 2 friends (online only) will hate this.
