It’s not just Americans who keep Meta relevant, with their usage of these apps. Europe has to recognize its reliance on WhatsApp. Japan has to contend with its reliance on Instagram. There must be new and good software solutions for both communication and information distribution that do not rely on these services. It is the only way out. No one can quit unless something is better and freer. To do that without ad revenue is near-impossible, but it needs to happen. It has to. For our own good.

@louie@pdx.social my mother's side of the family is from Brazil so we visit there a lot and quite literally almost nobody there uses anything other than WhatsApp for communication ​:neofox_googly_shocked:​

@skydotbit It blows my mind how many people are indifferent about this stuff.
