@sturmsucht sadly if that happened all my family will keep using it because of its popularity / network effect. It’s a miracle I got them to install and use Signal for me 6 years ago.
Starting to think Big Tech is cult-like and people need de-programming.
They’re also all in LLMs and think age verification is a fantastic thing. No critical objections from me can do anything to persuade them to think otherwise.
Being a Cassandra is super hard and demoralizing sometimes 🥲

@_elena yeah, I'm with you. Most don't understand and if they do, they don't care.
My family hears me, but they also don't fully understand the impact of what is going on online. They only see the direct impact these action have for them and that is normally what big tech uses to sell these things as "improvement".

@sturmsucht I wish we had a support group to air our grievances. A certain family member is straight up mocking me for my negative stance about AI / LLMs and asks ChatGPT for medical advice all the damn time 😭
