Well I don’t use any Meta apps.
But I have to use SMS for certain people

So all in all, would you say my messages are more likely to be captured by Meta when using WhatsApp, or SMS? I ask in good faith. I am aware SMS isn’t secure, but at least it isn’t literally hosted by Meta… So if Meta was my main concern for my threat model would you still recommend WhatsApp?

In any case, you understand why conventions exist and persist despite imperfection

Why do you use 60 seconds in a minute and not an even 100? Why use randomly sized calendar months? Why do you say doce instead of diecidos?

Why would you add one? Who even sees it? This reddit/lemmy style of posting and commenting has always worked with just a username and a comment and I like it that way. If my app started showing them I’d either turn them off or find a new app.

It would be DIY

I thought not, but you made me look into it and it is using the Blink engine (chromium). I guess I need to try out the foxes
