People, stop using #Meta, #Google, and other #BigTech Apps that make YOU the product!
There are already so many right-wing governments.
You compromise your current or at least future security (e.g. profiling using LLMs.)
Use #Threema or #Signal instead.
#DeleteWhatsApp
#DeleteThreads
#DeleteFacebook
#DeleteInstagram
#DeleteTwitter
#DeleteTikTok
Data collection comparison of messenger services (found on the web):
I completely agree about avoiding Whatsapp
Unfortunately, Signal or Threema only work with a mobile phone to sign up (same for Telegram which Furries absolutely demand to exclusively use)
Depending on which state you live (germany for example) it might be impossible to get a anonymous SIM card and therefore just have no useable number
Its beyond my red line to be personally verified and legally attached to a phone that can track all my movement and interactions
So i am all for XMPP/Jabber and Matrix
I have never seen any information on those.
But I like #TheMatrix trilogy. ;)
@HistoPol
I strongly suggest you chck them out
XMPP is a classic since decades, but has somewhat falen out of fashion after it was abandoned by Bigtech
Matrix still has issues with key sharing across multiple devices, but is emerging pretty well in Mastodon and i also have heard that Thunderbird has an Matrix client function in paralell to E-Mail
