WhatsApp is different because in a lot of cases, basically everybody uses it and it's replaced text messaging. So yeah there are plenty of dodgy group chats with wackos, but I only join groups with people I already know in person.

Do people use WhatsApp to join random group chats?

[-] DayOfDoom@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

3rd world boomers who use it probably do because they're just mashing buttons and getting their brains melted by it.

yea That and Facebook groups

Yes. It's like telegram groups. They also have wierd new features like "communities" and "channels" so it's more social media than you would think.

Same with me. But I've also seen people get radicalized by joining weird groups.

Yeah that's true unfortunately. I tell my grandparents to ignore all the community features on WhatsApp. Facebook gives them enough brainworms already.
