Long time linux user and tinkerer. Currently working as a devops engineer. Very positive to the idea of decentralized internet platforms. :)
There is a huge difference between mozilla and google. That’s quite obvious to most. The ceo raising his salary is a problem for you, and you prefer Google, where they have enormous salaries and incomes? It’s one of the richest companies in the world.

I would never use WhatsApp since it’s associated with Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg which is the creepiest (celebrity) human alive I belive. If him and Elon Musk had a baby, it’s over for humanity.
Anyway, I use telegram now but was impressed by Element when I tried it. It’s a client for Matrix and it’s both live chat in public channels and private conversions in one app. Also I love that it’s matrix underneath the good looking surface.
And we saw this was going to happen at least 5 years ago. But since the majority don’t care, we get what we deserve I guess.
Let’s just hope this doesn’t go through.
