Peoblem is somw people just refuse to switch to Signal

Those would be the “unreasonable” people I referred to. I have generally pushed everyone else to Signal, and leave the remainder behind in mostly abandoned chats that get little attention any more.

Matrix bridges to WhatsApp?
eodur@piefed.social 5 days ago
Yup. I run one for the few platforms I have to stay connected to. Sometimes things are delayed or messages look a little funny, but its better than keeping those apps on my phone.

i use lineage os (without gapps or microg). I still have whatsapp. I feel you buddy.

I only have it for the neighborhood group chat. Someone suggested to use Beeper for it. Anyone know if it’s safe?

Beeper is just as proprietary as whatsapp, all you’d be doing is adding another link in the corpo chain that’s handling your messages
If you can’t get off whatsapp, just locking down its permissions is probably a better move. Do consider never shutting up about signal in said group chat, though ;)

“I use signal. If you care about our friendship, you’ll install it too.”
I have friends that got it just for me. I also lost some so-called “friends”

The best kinds of friendships are those where one makes demands threatening the end of the friendship.

Not gonna lie, that’s pretty toxic.

Now what?

It’s not friends I miss though, it’s community groups.
