How to get rid of Whatsapp? - Lemmy.ca
lemmy.caHello, It’s been a while since I started finding Whatsapp alternative, I found
IRC, XMPP, Signal etc, however the thing is that I can’t convince other people
to use Whatsapp, I can’t say that “ohh it’s bad for privacy” otherwise they will
say “you are not a president, nobody cares about your messages”. also I don’t
live in western country so I can’t just say “I don’t want to use Whatsapp”
otherwise people will get mad saying “you are not a VIP, everyone uses whatsapp
and you are not special”. however I found a way so that people won’t blame me
for not using Whatsapp, I have to somehow get banned from Whatsapp and then when
people ask “why don’t you use whatsapp” then I can say “ohh umm I don’t know it
stopped working, you can find me on Signal”. that way people will be ready to
install Signal to talk to me. what are your thoughts? is it even possible to get
perma banned from Whatsapp?
you could also just refuse to use whatsapp and tell your friends to get your alternative if they want to stay in contact with you. if they refuse, their loss.
