I will soon be removing FB messenger app from my phone.
I will be shutting down my wall if Biden is inaugurated (I am cautiously optimistic he and Harris will not be inaugurated).
I will also be removing WhatsApp.

This also demonstrates a rather interesting issue arising out of the pandemic: it's hard to get in touch with a customer support rep. I was only able to reach a resolution because I had a Twitter account and Facebook messenger. Is it time to teach mom about social media? Eek!

@AdeOkeUnused @signalapp The main difference is that Signal is a security focused app and should be better than WhatsApp, FB messenger, iMessage or any other messaging app. Signal is much better in many respects. This is just one issue I think warrants attention.

Root @rootsecdev
Reported 2021-01-15 14:47:57
Since signal is down it’s important to have safe alternatives to encrypted comms.
@KeybaseIO or @myWickr are good safe alternatives
Facebook Messenger secret chats is a distant 4th just because of wide range usage.
