I’m from Mexico, and the most used chat application is WhatsApp. It’s used for EVERYTHING. I use Telegram only for contacting my family members (both my parents and my brother). They also use it only for this family chat. All my (and their) contacts use WhatsApp instead.

Now with the news that Telegram will collaborate with Twitter, I feel that I should delete it. Not that Zuck is any better than Musk, but still…

Also I don’t think it’s worth the effort to teach my parents yet another messaging app, like signal.

    An observation isn’t a fallacy: not an ounce of anything firm to substantiate what they wrote, just impression & hot takes.

      Sneaky edit, there…

      My point was that all you wrote was “you know nothing” as if that is enough to refute anything.

        Not really. Man, that comment is so painfully misinformed it wows me isn’t really an argument.

          Fair enough, it was edited while I was typing my comment I guess, so silly of me to assume.

          isn’t really an argument

          There’s an implied argument there that they’re wrong about something, obviously. The implication is so strong that if you didn’t mean to make an argument, it was pretty confusing.

          But if you really insist, fair enough to that as well. 🤷‍♂️
