With Zuckerberg very much kissing Trump's ring, are there any good strategies to encourage friends to switch away from Meta products? I've already changed my WhatsApp profile with an image to indicate I prefer to be contacted on @signalapp #meta #bigtech
@okwithmydecay none of my strategies worked unfortunately 
I'm being ignored by people... number of followers seems to be more important than freedom, privacy & human values 
@okwithmydecay it's a good reminder to promote Signal use to the couple of active WhatsApp groups i'm in. Encouraging that same interest group to join the fediverse on ethical grounds was a total fail, but when a lot of them went to bsky it happened very quickly. Looks like a combination of peer pressure critical mass + powerful external trigger that's hard to engineer :/
@okwithmydecay Take a look at apps like Watomatic ( https://apt.izzysoft.de/packages/com.parishod.watomatic) which send an auto-reply to inform the sender to better contact you at e.g. @signalapp (that auto-response-message could include hints like you check WA only weekly, but Signal promptly 
– so then stick to it: answer on Signal promptly, and ignore the WA messages for a few days at least, unless real urgent)
