@georgia I sent that message ironically (it's a copypasta) but beyond "haha virgin" you really can't argue with the person it's trying to mock. idk if it can really be solved on an individual level, public awareness of FOSS alternatives, especially through better marketing, is probably the solution. Too bad those types hate it.
an interesting conversation. The person who wrote the text xennobe copied here will have a hell of a time meeting a compatible possible partner.
Some compromising needed.
It's lovely to use lower profile messaging systems, I tried and liked Telegram, but for any messaging software, not having contacts makes it dead and sterile. 😔
best is software that is available across platforms; doesn't force you to be in a mobile device (like Whatsapp) to install and use it.
Some companies do make the effort to offer cross platform tools, avoiding the enclosed garden mentality.
