What has that got to do with social media?
Instant messaging and group chat, I’d argue, are distinct services / protocols / products vis-à-vis social media.
Strained analogies are weird. I like to call them sieved analogies, the other definition of strained.
I strained your analogy and threw out the dross.
- BlueTemplar 2y agoIf GP has an issue with Zuckerberg => Meta, they might have an issue with WhatsApp too. The "protocols vs platforms" struggle is more relevant than ever. (I am surprised that GP doesn't seem to have heard of Mastodon?)
- TheSpiceIsLife 2y agoApproximately no one I’ve ever know in Australia uses WhatsApp, so I generally don’t remember to remember it in these conversations. I think I once used it to advise someone it’s owned my Facebook and sent them my public key.
