WhatsApps main "killer feature" was being early in the market to quickly reach a critical user mass.
Doesn't matter which competitor, people will install an alternative, see that only 5-10% of their contacts have it and will immediately uninstall.
I see potential in preinstalled messaging apps. But it needs to be cross-compatible between iOS and Android. Otherwise it won't fly.
Many have tried, many have failed.
You simply need a killer feature to get people to change.
I actually have issues with wefwef now, gives me a lot of errors.
But I think the next days will be a little rough because of many new signups.
Which, in this particular case, wouldn't be a bad thing. Just integrate the community aspects into Google Maps, make them optional.
If you are a member of such a small community, be sure to create it here. Users will usually take a look at Lemmy and first search for their favorite topics. If they don't find anything, they will go back to Reddit...
Not even fair. The Zuck is a robot he doesn't even feel any pain.
The end of Sync is the reason why I will leave Reddit at the end of the month. So nice to see that we eventually might get a new app for Lemmy!
Well, you pay with your data so there's that...
