You may or may not have stumbled across my comment on a post from a few days ago, mentioning how I fake banned my account on WhatsApp (attached below) when in reality I just deleted it.

Well, it worked like a charm. I got my close friends and my significant other to switch to Signal, I told them we have no choice since I got banned and won’t get my account back, and told them that Signal was developed by the same people who once worked at WhatsApp before Facebook bought them. And it worked.

Just for your information, I am a zoomer in the US, the group which is probably the hardest to do this with, yet I did it (although granted we all used Whatsapp before which is also not very common in the US especially among zoomers who love Snapchat and Instagram DMs)

    Since you did it via manipulation and intent for deception, you show yourself to be a coward, and pretentious at that. You’re not someone of principal, but rather too weak intellectually to sway someone by percise and thorough explanation.

      Or she/he’s young and made a dumb decision.

      Your post on the other hand shows that you are rash, judgemental and quickly offended. You are too emotional to rationally understand humans and their ability to make mistakes.

      That’s meant as satire, but probably not a good idea to insult strangers we don’t know.

      Feel better now? This is not how you present your opinion. Hopefully this is just the anonymity of the internet that somehow compells you to behave thay way, otherwise I’m sorry for the people that know you personally.

      Calm your tits my guy. I could go on and on to my family about privacy and all of that, but they don’t give a shit. Now, if I were to tell them that I was banned from Messenger, they would actually switch to Signal. Some people don’t really have any other option.
