I wonder how people will feel about this. I always thought that to some extent, people use different social networks to segment their interactions. I.e. will this make it feel like my mom is on Instagram now?
- aethertron 8y agoI segment my interactions in this way. I have different contacts on Facebook and WhatsApp. I don't use the Facebook mobile app partly because I don't want my contacts from Facebook to annoy me anywhere, expecting me to respond on my phone any time of the day. But I'm okay with ignoring people, asking people to stop, and mercilessly blocking people when they don't. Some are unwilling to take such deliberate action to reduce unwanted communications. Some perhaps have good reasons: it'll be socially costly.
- CamelCaseName 8y agoThe comments here are rather bleak, but for me, this is fantastic. My family is all on WhatsApp, but my friends and colleagues are on Messenger and SMS. Previously, I would only ever use Messenger, checking SMS and WhatsApp once a month at best. A while ago, SMS got integrated to Messenger, I started staying in touch with people who only use SMS. Now that they're adding WhatsApp, I literally don't know a single person I can't reach from Messenger/Gmail. I love it, and I hope things go smoothly.
