In some of the music communities I'm in the content creators are already telling their userbase to go follow them on threads. They're all talking about some kind of beef between Elon and Mark and the possibility of a boxing match... Mark was right to call the people he's leaching off of fucking idiots.

pretending that you need to use WhatsApp in 2023 is indeed a choice

It's not as easy as you make it sound. Between 2015 and 2022, Whatsapp's marketshare has increased a lot in Germany. So it might've been comparatively easy to drop it 8 years ago. It's not anymore.

Maybe I'd be able to convince a lot of my friends to install another app just for me. But it would be hard to do and involve a lot of arguing on my end. I'm not a missionary and I choose to spend my lifetime for other, more important things.

Or maybe you would realize that a lot of people think the same but are also convinced to be alone and unable to change anything... Just like it happened for me back then the moment the first few made the effort to change. We will never know.
