Morning!

genRaiy09:05:36

still an Heroku user - they got so many things right

Today was a good day to kill my WhatsApp account.

emak16:05:40

I saved me this pain years ago by never creating one. Now I see groups of whatsapp refugees I may have missed all this time poping up in telegram.

mccraigmccraig13:05:28

i would find that very difficult to do @ramart - too hard to persuade too many people of why they should use signal instead

RAMart13:05:47

Yes, it‘s hard. That‘s part of Facebook‘s market power. I just give it a try now and see how it will work out for me. 🤷

borkdude13:05:02

And if you have convinced some friends of solution a (signal) the other half is already on solution b (telegram)

pez14:05:24

Telegram is sweet.

I removed WhatsApp a while ago, switched to Signal

mccraigmccraig15:05:05

did you manage to convince your parents to switch to signal @dharrigan?

dharrigan15:05:38

My mum is 90+. She doesn't even have a mobile....

dharrigan15:05:47

so easy to convince 🙂

mccraigmccraig15:05:21

ha, both mine are in their 80s - but my mum very definitely has a mobile and once she's gotten used to using something one way is quite hard to convince to change

dharrigan15:05:11

Mostly everyone I know has Signal too (either from themselves, or me refusing to communicate via WhatsApp ever again).
