I know the average Joe doesnt care about security/privacy but, ugh. Really wish we did. Society (at least in the US, where I am) might be a bit less shit if they did. I'm glad to hear that iMessage is a flash in the pan in other countries though, I dont understand why its such a big deal here, especially when Signal/WhatsApp exists and provides a similar seemless experience across more than one platform, but then again you'd hear me complaining about Meta if I lived anywhere else in the world so, really a lose lose for me :(
I have a friend group that insist on all events being planned through facebook.
I've missed out on events in the past due to not taking part.
It's no longer a hill I wish to die on.
