I fucking wish. If I delete insta, facebook and whatsapp, I cut 99% of friends, my family and my wife. I can probably delete FB and insta, but whatsapp is like impossible to get rid of. Everyone is on it.

Maybe in future EU moves to something else, then deleting would be possible. But as of now, it is not.

I got my husband to migrate to Signal with me, but the only alternative to talking to my parents on Whatsapp is using some russian government-owned chat platform that they recently installed to talk to my grandparents (apparently Whatsapp no longer works in Russia). With those two options, I’m sticking to Whatsapp for now (on GrapheneOS, in a separate isolated profile that is completely off while I’m not using it and has no permission to do anything on my phone)

There are phone calls and texting. There is zero excuse to remain in support of platforms that do this.

And if your friends remain on Facebook, they’re part of the problem too because apparently, any victims of the actions made by Zuckerberg can suck it so long as they can share and look at super cool memes.
