WhatsApp is owned and run by Meta. If you ever used WhatsApp, you’re a f*cking idiot.

That’s fair. I’ll revise to “If you’ve used WhatsApp since they were purchased by Meta, you’re a f*cking idiot.”

That’s pretty generalizing. I have people who I need to contact that only use WhatsApp, and it isn’t really possible to get a group of 20–30 sports people all to move to Signal “because the guy who works in IT doesn’t feel comfortable”.
And ignorance to me is not the same as being an idiot. Being an idiot to me is being presented with the truth and ignoring it. Not knowing is another thing.
Those were my two cents.

Tell me you’ve never met anyone from Latin America without telling me you’ve never met anyone from Latin america…

As an android user I almost have no choice since I know too many people who are daft and refuse to change to signal. I have like 7 chat apps on my phone because of different people.

This might be a crazy concept but some people have friends and family. While it isn’t heavily used in the US I hear that it is very popular elsewhere.

And calling someone is more secure than WhatsApp?
