Absolutely agree with this. Many of us came to the fediverse precisely to get away from Meta 😂
Thanks for sharing the details and practical steps @kalvin0x58c — really helpful. I’ve now blocked the relevant domains on my instance and added my name to the FediPact in support of keeping the fediverse independent, decentralised, and community-run. 💜✊️

Just... gross.
Such a gross gross company.
Feeling late to the punch with creating an account here, as the alternative, non-federated options grow more and more invasive/toxic/propagandized each day.
A worthy sentiment for our first post:
The best time to create an account way from the control of the tech elite was when we found out there was an alternative. The second best time was right now, so here we are 🤘

Oh and 5/4 appendix!
I perfectly happy to destroy my signal acount as well should signal foundation choose the same path as meta and google!
Don't blindly trust something new. Go for new if it offers something better and be ready to change again should they brake your trust!
...i only edited 4/4 pics so here is picture of happy hors....
4/4 Thanks for reading!
So here is the core of this problem. You cannot live in a dream world where everyone arround you will immediately agrees with you. There might be totally sane people who are aware of their privacy violations that are google and meta, but they don't mind it.
So i cannot shake off whatsapp that easilly, not yet. After meta will make the service full of ads and functions behind paywalls people will finally abandon it. Untill we all send signlas freely.
3/4
And not to mention other outside world like work. I get work related info in whatsapp. Big company will not hear my whining about privacy and choice.
So to the surtain extend whatsapp will be still mandatory. So sad...
How ever, i am still going to use signal and will push its use for my friend groups.
But what to do about whatsapp? Leave it be? Erase somehow my acount and use another bullshit one? I really don't know at the moment.
2/4
So, even if I change to signal some of my friends won't. They don't see anything wrong with whatapp. They are happy little products to be mined for data and they know it. It is a choice and everyone has to have that right. If we where to mandate people to use surtain services we would not be any better than shitty corpos we try to avoid. Its all about choice.
My choice will ve Signal. But i don't want to lose contact just because of one service...
Long post so 1/4
I have a plan to gradually faceout all meta and google from my day to day use. And eventually discord as well. And now i arrive at whatsapp vs signal.
I prefer signal due to its open source and anti corporate structure. Easy win right?
Not so fast. This is not my PC that is now running Linux mint, this is communication tool that is only good as people i communicate with. So in this case i am going to have to be signal evangelist 😅
