@qgustavor @mo I’ve seen it coming from other instances, too

@stefano I was thinking: why does no one make a filter that automatically detects and bans those accounts?
Then I noticed the issue: it would not work. Even if someone provided a closed-source obfuscated plugin so spammers can't just check the source to work around this, they would just reverse engineer this. And having each instance admin develop their own filter is impossible.

@kiwiWolle hahaha 😂 🥰

@synnef @GOKUSHRM I wrote about how I deleted my Whatsapp account and moved to Signal in January 2020: https://therealists.org/2020/01/quitting-whatsapp-facebook-s-grand-illusion/
The post was written at the time of my departure and I convinced 90% of my friends and family to install Signal to keep communicating with me. I got entire groups to move there. My proudest moment in my FOSS journey 😅
For those who didn't move, we kept communicating via SMS or iMessage.
6 years later I feel super grateful about how smooth this transition was

@GOKUSHRM @_elena the few people i've managed to convince to open a Signal account just message me through WhatsApp anyway, or uninstall the app after a few weeks
more attention needs to be brought to the fact that WhatsApp is extremely likely to be backdoored and it's owned by an *evil* corporation that lives off of exploiting people's interests or insecurities for hyper-targeted advertising, it's in their best interest to PRETEND their platform is secure so users think they're not being watched

@peteorrall @stefano I've seen this spam exactly once (and reported it). Everything seems to be working fine.
