Comment on The story of Darth BlueBubbles the Wise
Khrux@ttrpg.network 1 day agoI’m in the UK too and the gradual shift to WhatsApp has been a relief considering it used to be WhatsApp, Snapchat, messenger, Instagram, iMessage and twitter about ten years ago, not that anyone did all of them.
It’s a shame it’s meta but it’s so nice that it’s not a huge pile of useless features, just a few.

Twitter never took off in my area for some reason but lot of people I knew used Facebook messenger about 10 years ago which was a pain. I’m pretty sure the popularity of Whatsapp is thanks to Vodafone. They had contracts years ago that allowed unlimited use of Whatsapp without affecting your data usage. This lead a lot of people to believe that happens on all contracts. I still can’t convince my Grandma that calling through Whatsapp uses both of our data.
