MODERATORS
Thank god none of my friends or relatives ever were really Snapchat users. But I'm held hostage by WhatsApp in here.
I envy you, I pulled some family members from Facebook messenger to signal when I closed my account, and while I don't trust Meta keeping WhatsApp private, its still better than Snapchat, Messenger etc.
Oh yeah, that's for sure. Messenger and Snapchat are more in the dark side.
I just try to avoid tiktok. I'd use it if it wasn't basically Spyware, but its literally got backdoor access for an authoritarian country that keeps saber rattling. Id rather use snapchat and I definitely don't want to use that either. Its shame.
Can we decentralize social media too?
Social media is being decentralised the same way Lemmy is. Platforms such as Friendica, Pixelfed, Mastodon, etc are all platforms for decentralised social media.
WhatsApp is fine IMO. It's really just an instant messanger that does about as much as any other. In terms of privacy, WhatsApp is far from bad compared with other apps. The fact that Meta own WhatsApp doesn't really impact that too much.
