@Tutanota This is magnificent! We need to end WhatsApp's monopoly. I'm sick of having to use it because no one wants to talk on other platforms.
@Tutanota The best approach is to steer clear of Meta Platforms like WhatsApp and use alternatives. i'm already done my side what about others?
@Tutanota this is basically the green bubbles trick all over again. they're positioning those third party platforms as second-class. and overall this reeks of malicious compliance
@Tutanota
Yay so soon we'll be able to have WhatsApp, Telegram, Teams, Slack, Linkedin and Facebook chat all combined into one big pot of surveillance sh*t! Happy days.
@Tutanota Doesn't this give Meta the same access to the data we avoid giving them by not using WhatsApp?
@Tutanota lol the person was arguing with me now disappear 🤣🤣
@Tutanota First I was excited because I thought it would be the solution to message from Signal to WhatsApp users but after reading that they decided against that, makes sense. But feels a bit sad somehow...I wish everyone would just use Signal.
What is the favourite messenger for Tuta? I personally used and SimpleX Chat before but I switched to Signal because of many reasons. I'm hoping for Signal to even get better in the future.
@Tutanota I am curious why you skip xmpp protocol based apps in your whatsapp alternatives review? 🤔
@kundu No reason, but another update is planned, so send us your recommendations!
@Tutanota well, I am using Conversations and Monocles for android.
I know Monal works fine in iOS.
For linux Gajim is a good client.
I have also installed Matrix protocol apps in my phone, like Element, so my question was a genuine one.
I am up for the best privacy oriented software out there.
I wonder what is your take on that. 👍
@Tutanota The best solution is to avoid WhatsApp, not to communicate with it.
@Tutanota more data breach & more data selling from uther apps
@Tutanota Wasn't this mandated and announced years ago? Seems that still only a vague "soon" is given.
@Tutanota How do you block meta from your existence now?
