Not combatting the merits of those break-ups, of which I agree, just wanted to point out that WhatsApp is a social media product at this point, because all the relevant social group interactions have moved there from Facebook the website/the app.
- the_af 4y agoWhat do you mean? Just as anecdote, I don't have whatsapp groups for my fb groups. My whatsapp and fb worlds are entirely disconnected. People in groups from fb often promote Discord (which I don't like: real time chatting with strangers feels odd to me). Facebook is aggressively promoting its own chat for groups, spamming it violently and so I'm forced to unsubscribe/ignore lots of chat groups now. Do people really need yet another chat platform?
- paganel 4y ago> ust as anecdote, I don't have whatsapp groups for my fb groups Exactly that, that the personal updates for close friends and family that we used to post on FB are now posted on several dedicated WhatsApp groups. Yes, that means that that former highschool colleague who you'd met once in the last 20 years won't get to see them, but it's still social. > Facebook is aggressively promoting its own chat for groups, Could be, but the WhatsApp interface when it comes to group chats is way nicer and more intuitive (especially when it comes to sharing photos).
