Fuck texting like a Neanderthal. Use a modern, and secure app to communicate. WhatsApp as a bottom of the barrel thing (99% of society outside of the US is on it, so it’s the de facto standard) , signal or better if you can.
Signal is as good as you can get or better yet we revert back to the good old days> 1890s and start using telegrams or even better we revert back a further 2000 years and use fire flint and rock me and the homies dance round the fire
Yeah, I was just being conservative. Lemmy has a hard-on for open source and privacy. Didn’t want to state “signal is best”, because someone would “akshually” me :)
Nothing makes me smirk like the rest of the world bragging to Americans that they use Facebook to text. Yeah guys, you nailed it. Big win. We’re over here using standard protocols like rubes. I’m sure you get all kinds of security from that free app from Mr Zuckerberg. lol
I’m all for discrediting Facebook services for better alternatives, but Whatsapp employs End to End encryption by default, while SMS is readable from your ISP and anyone intercepting your conversation.

I really don’t care about security of a conversation that goes like:
“hey wanna hang out on Sunday?”
“Sure, sounds fun, let’s meet at xxx at yyy pm.”
People have a tendency to overvalue themselves in society and to the feds.

You guys use iMessage, a proprietary app from an other big tech company and use it to dismiss the other half of the population.
You guys aren’t much better.
