Did you know that there’s a premium version of Whatsapp which :

- Has no advertising
- Has no mandatory AI integration
- Has no tracking and does not gather your personnal data
- Has increased privacy and stronger encryption
- Is exclusive and allows you to chat with other premium members

Best of all ? It is currently free to join!

Go now to your app store and install it before it is too late!

It is called "Signal"

@ploum It's a shame that Signal doesn't have channels

@Distante channels like in whatsapp/tg? For what? Fediverse is channels. You can close your subscribers list also

@Xen4n @ploum Today's social media feeds leave room to miss important posts if you are subscribed to more than 7 accounts. Channels solve this problem

@Distante no, you can add subscribed account to lists and read only his timeline.

Union messenger and social network / news feeds is a bad idea.

@Xen4n @ploum You still don't have a position on which post you last read. Channels keep the position and give you an indicator of how many new posts have appeared

@Distante it can be managed by the client not much hard
