Have to use a student account, gmail and my main protonmail account. Tying everything up in one window is just nice.

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

Welcome aboard.

Nice! Will switch to Graphene too, when I find the time.

Good job!

Aaand … its lame.

I love how aggressive google is becoming. It drives more and more people into the arms of open source os and firefox

Stop dreaming.

I’m popping a bottle of discounter champange when the ‘office-building-crisis’ starts

No as I explained above this is nonsensical virtue signaling.

This is valueless and destructive virtue signaling.

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.
