2019-09-02 17:10:43 UTC  

Are you a Pakistani pedophile? Why the hell are you on whatsapp

2019-09-02 17:10:44 UTC  

what are the better alternatives to facebook, instagram and snapchat, though? I thought those have no real competitor in their field

2019-09-02 17:10:50 UTC  

europe is on whatsapp

2019-09-02 17:11:00 UTC  

whatsapp is sms for us

2019-09-02 17:11:09 UTC

america is the only reason RCS exists, CMV

2019-09-02 17:13:11 UTC  

if america wasn't so stuck on SMS, the damn protocol would actually be close to dying

2019-09-02 17:13:19 UTC  

like cassettes

2019-09-02 17:13:19 UTC  

@Cole its not really that there is no alternatives its the "everyone is there/ it was first" effect

2019-09-02 17:13:28 UTC  

no matter how much abuse and shitty service they get

2019-09-02 17:13:39 UTC  

they stay cause "mah everyone else"

2019-09-02 17:13:44 UTC  

yeah

2019-09-02 17:14:00 UTC  

tho also given giving alternative smaller plantforms to our friends is on us who know more about technology

2019-09-02 17:14:08 UTC  

but still, _are_ there usable alternatives to facebook, instagram and ok let's kill snapchat who the fuck cares about snapchat

2019-09-02 17:14:26 UTC  

snapchat is darn popular hell people use it to just chat ...

2019-09-02 17:14:26 UTC  

Snapchat and Instagram are both stupid

2019-09-02 17:14:33 UTC  

with 2 lines of text and picture of floor

2019-09-02 17:14:41 UTC  

I use Facebook, Signal, and Discord

2019-09-02 17:14:43 UTC  

thousands of terabytes of floor pictures

2019-09-02 17:15:02 UTC  

I lurk on twitter, but never tweet personally

2019-09-02 17:15:10 UTC  

snapchat owned by the flooring lobby

2019-09-02 17:16:05 UTC  

@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))

2019-09-02 17:16:32 UTC  

yes, you're describing how an alternative could work

but does the alternative exist now

2019-09-02 17:16:33 UTC  

but do we suggest or support our friends doing that ? nope cause we dont want to be customer support

2019-09-02 17:17:44 UTC  

@Cole yes activitypub world

2019-09-02 17:17:46 UTC

2019-09-02 17:17:57 UTC

2019-09-02 17:18:13 UTC  

"oh hey you know a lot about _stuff_ could you help me with _incredibly unreasonable and/or retarded request_"

<:kms:327934280619655179>

2019-09-02 17:20:26 UTC  

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

2019-09-02 17:20:56 UTC  

pubcast for podscasts and what not

2019-09-02 17:21:37 UTC  

sure throwing all those shits up for friends takes some time

2019-09-02 17:21:53 UTC  

and requires your friends to trust you with keys to kingdom technicaly

2019-09-02 17:22:09 UTC  

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

2019-09-02 17:22:42 UTC  

Autismos with 2 friends (online only) will hate this.
