Never used Facebook, never fucking will.

I haven't in over a decade. I think I'm up to eight different word filters trying to stop news stories about this from showing up on my feed. If they didn't have such a stupid name I could just block the term meta.

Plot twist: that was their plan all along.

What about WhatsApp?

What about Instagram?

Also does your Lemmy instance federate with Threads?

WhatsApp is encrypted and much less open to manipulation. Will be switching to matrix once 2.0 is stable and recommendable.

Both ends of Whatsapp are still facebooks own servers.
