    Indeed.

    WhatsApp is Meta and should be avoided as much as possible, but there are some countries where it’s everywhere.

    I just looked up a flat rental for summer, got contacted by the agency on Whatsapp. I’m not going to try to convert a real estate agent to Delta chat or Signal.

          I think the point he is making is more that older people who dint need anything more than a chat app? They typically don’t need the latest trending app after all so running Lineage might not be as big of an issue as compared to the average 20+ year old.
