No wonder why WhatsApp isn’t on Linux.
I have no clue how people trust whatsapp
i still need it for friends,family and stuff
The network effect is real. You can have the best, most awesomely-designed social media platform ever and it will be useless if you are the only person on it.
You can try to convince all your contacts to switch away from whatever app is causing the most evil today, but you also have to convince all of your contacts’ contacts and all of theirs as well.
I managed to overcome network effect with YouTube btw.

It really comes down to what platforms they have with government backdoors & data sharing. If they know the government might not be able to access “encrypted” data then they’d rather suck the balls of government than create it anyway. Look at what happened to the Telegram CEO when he created the encryption & told the government to fuck off.
You mean a desktop application? If so you can use the web version, or even better, use Ferdium. It lets you connect to various messaging services and integrates them like a native desktop app.
Sounds like a cool app.
