Idk, got thunderbird set up and feeling pretty happy with it.

Yeah but it’s not about you, it’s about making the messaging app choice in the daily life more balanced for the average user. The average user doesnt care about tos or privacy. You wont get the average user to switch to signal by saying “take care of your privacy”. The average user wants to send messages to their friends. Thats it. And because publicly traded companies have to grow they have to increase revenue from their services. So, monetize user data, which lawmakers could stop, increase revenue by charging a fee, which the average user doesnt want to, or show ads, no one wants to. And I guess free software has the benefit of working without the need to monetize their users. THIS is the selling point. And if you get it to work across different messaging apps, users will leave wa.

I’d like to use signal as my daily messaging App. But all my friends are on wa. If I can cross message them from signal, I will stay on signal. One less user for whatsapp.

Yeah maybe, but it’s important to cross message otherwise you loose against the scale effect of Whatsapps userbase

I dont think so, Apple Google Meta and Microsoft have to grow their revenue so they will have to make their service either more expensive or crappier. And I think, at some point, this will drive people to open source alternatives. Or atleast I hope so

Isnt the EU working on something requiring Whatsapp to open up cross messaging for Signal and co.? If they do, there is no reason to be on wa anymore.

Hell yeah man!

Ok, prizes vary between countries and how many are there of that kind. Anyway, I heard about the Japanese ones. Isn’t it a “Mamachari”?

Thanks! I’ll check it out.

Atleast in Germany they are.

Nice.

Sure but I want to rather see it in old phones were the price tage is right. But a Samsung Galaxy S4 vor 25 bucks on ebay. Headphone jack, replaceable Battery and SD Card slot. I would like to have a better camera in it. Shouldnt be that complicated.

Not really a feature. But I really I wish I could upgrade my phone. Like, get a new camera with better quality or a new battery with higher energy density in an older phone. Stuff like this.
