It's an american thing. Expats all use WhatsApp 🤷♂️
F that crap
I'm no fan of meta, zuck, human trafficking, psyops, etc., but it's much better than telcos that were all captured in the 80s and offer no encryption at all 🤷 Personally I use Signal with normies, and matrix for my closer circle. PGP email in a pinch. Sphinx chat over LN was alright. Nostr obviously. But we're the visionaries. Its gonna take decades for our tools & ideas to catch on en masse. Fortunately bitcoiners are a patient bunch. The real bitcoiners at least.
