IMO a little Stallman is a good thing. Are you installing any random app when someone asks you for contact details?
How will you find out that the person actually has Telegram if you don't refuse Facebook and WhatsApp first?
Is it actually relevant that you use the same social platform as all your friends do? Or is it actually possible to just not and still be friends?
- 2Gkashmiri 4y agoi have been holding out on installing whatsapp for as long it was an active service. i use a "business" number to get work contacts to send me stuff but never my personal phones. i am anxiously waiting for the EU dma to be enforced so that finally i can use my matrix to connect to whatsapp/snap/fb/insta users who want to connect to me, right now they cant and its a bummer but i've stubbornly stuck to this.
- viraptor 4y agoI think you'll be disappointed in your specific situating. The regulation doesn't seem to force the communicators to be both open protocol and open federation. Unless I misunderstand it, Apple, Google and FB having a private federation between each other would satisfy it too.
