How does one connect to users on WhatsApp and Messenger from outside of Meta?

You mail them a fucking letter saying, "Leave meta."

You call them on the phone and say, "Leave meta."

You visit them in person and say, "Leave meta."

Hack into a defunct spy satellite and carve "LEAVE META" in the countryside using its lasers.

People exist outside of meta. They breath, they eat, they shit. Find that pile of meat that exists outside of zuck's servers and get a message to it.
Shit, how did people communicate before facebook?

If a company has decided to use reddit as the only way to get real support you have 2 choices: use reddit or stop using the product.

If you use a product who would force the use of reddit to get support you have made the wrong one.

Make a reddit account

No, don't.

Users need the ability to connect to most other users

They can leave meta and do that right now.

It’s only stored alongside your account.

There's no reason they should have the info and so long as they do it's possible actors with contrary interests to users (governments, employers, third parties...) can access it.

If they have the information, it can be purchased, leaked, or linked to.

They do not need and should not have this info, especially without consent.

Well, at least we've moved from "Meta is Satan! Defederate!!1!"

No we haven't. I never stopped screaming that.

I scream it now. Fuck Meta.

You can't topple a tech giant with tech giant tech users. The fuck?

Statistically, white men still dominate the video game space in terms of who is playing, making, starring, and writing about games.

Starring in, surely.

You mean that the government tries to make things better?

You think local populations being displaced from their homes is an improvement?
That's... terrible of you.

You can't theologically base views you goddamned wankers.

I doubt that pill bugs taste like lobster, despite the minor similarities.

Shrimp.

And that’s why we can’t wait for boomers to die.

You are going to be sorely disappointed when that doesn’t solve our problem

No, see... we'll get to eat the boomers.
