Optional

okay, bye!

a demented rapist took control of the country and everyone fucking peaced out for a few days.

The key is finding the communities you like and blocking the others, and users, that you dont.

There’s an up-front time-cost but it’s easy to adjust and makes for a great experience.

Boom.

but there is no real way around it in the Netherlands.

The way around it is to force everyone to learn how to load Signal. If they can’t overcome this incredibly tiny step, you must excommunicate them from your life. It’s harsh, but to be fair, they had a 30 year head start and still can’t figure it out.

I think they’re saying the friends and family don’t understand or can’t/won’t figure out the alternatives. If you want to text them you have to use Messenger.

It’s sad, and familiar. All of my extended friends and family on Windows I just have to give them a sad look, like, “Aw. Poor thing.”
