- ryukoposting 2y agoI don't know about WhatsApp, but Signal doesn't meet my definition of "social media."

- ryukoposting 2y ago> It has stories, therefore it's a "social media" Congratulations, you made my skin crawl. I'm quite familiar with Signals opposition to third-party clients. I maintained my own fork of their app for about a year in order to keep SMS support. Eventually my fork got so wildly out-of-sync with upstream that I just couldn't keep up anymore.
- The_Colonel 2y ago> It has stories, therefore it's a "social media" /s Why /s? Stories is exactly an example of a feature being toxic (especially, but not exclusively) for children.
