Happy #GlobalSwitchDay

And that's the problem. The whole privacy thing goes out the window because it relies on an insecure and state-controlled method for authentication. What's the use of it if it can be killed off in any country at a whim of its, or USA's government?

You have really good insights about this, and it's a great question. I wish it weren't buried 5 levels deep in this thread, where few people may see it. Maybe you could write it up as a top level post on the Fediverse community?

What you need is not always what the world need.

In this specific case, like my kids soccer or swimming team, I would need to convince 15 childrens parents, so 30 people (or more) to switch.

On top of that, the soccer club has more teams, and since soccer practice is scheduled by the club, the club itself would need to switch their ways of working, and that’s where it gets tough.

Facebook, for better or for worse, offers a free platform with a built in blog, instant messenger, calendar, reminders, and an easy way to send messages to all relevant people.

Signal only solves one or two of those problems, meaning they would have to find alternatives for the rest, and I for one don’t miss the time when everybody used some variant of a shared calendar (ie Google calendar) to schedule, and you’d be subscribe to 10+ calendars with notifications going off left and right.

You can't text abroad for free. I guess texting is fine if you only communicate within the country.

Any chance you're American?

[lovablesidekick@lemmy.world]

Yes but I also don't much GAF about my phone. I only use it for calls and texting and as a camera. Can't enjoy games or videos on such a small device, let alone writing code, so I mostly ignore it.

[rikudou@lemmings.world]

Well, not what I was pointing at. It's pretty much an American thing to just use the preinstalled messaging app and pretend there are no others, that's why the whole blue bubble / green bubble drama is pretty much exclusive to the US.
