Agree. Sometimes I click on Reddit threads in my search results. I’ve had to use WhatsApp recently to stay in touch with my dad. I keep Meta accounts so that I can (very rarely) keep up with family.

None of them are things I use daily or post to (other than WhatsApp convo). The accounts have been pretty well dead for at least the last 3 years.

I host my own services, including a Mastodon instance. I talk up fediverse alternatives and FOSS apps…but I can’t even get my mom to understand that she doesn’t need to bring an SD card to Walmart to get photos. I’m certainly not going to push her to Signal or Matrix just to talk to me.

Whatsapp is a platform, not just a replacement messaging app. You can look someone up by phone of Facebook too, but that doesn’t mean you can choose how to message them or that they could receive a message without using the platform. Or maybe I’m not quite getting what you’re saying.
