Apparently Europe finally got Whatsapp to enable 3rd party chats making it easier to switch to more privacy friendly alternatives article However the only other app that currently works with it is “BirdyChat”??
Have anybody found any news about when serious alternatives will be integrated?
I don’t want to chat with people on WhatsApp with Signal. I don’t want Meta linking my metadata. Interoperability will only keep people from switching to better platforms
Yes this “solution” is just a bandaid to the problem which is capitalism. All this is going to do is make these corpos look like they are doing something good - but in the end, all of this is just a blur.
While I agree with your sentiment, no interoperability obviously hasn’t made people switch to better platforms either. The only difference is that without interoperability, I’m forced to still use WhatsApp to communicate with those unwilling / unable to switch.
I would disagree. I’ve gotten quite a few people in my life to use Signal
Seconded.
