Goodbye Meta
March 3, 2025•124 words
Well today it is official I have completely stopped the use of Meta apps.
My FB account was dormant for some time already but too lazy to actually delete it.
Instagram I legt in 2024.
Whatsapp was a bigger challenge as most of my social contacts ran through that platform and the messenger I used solely to communicate with my mom.
Whatsapp and messenger are replaced by iMessage and Signal. But I hope to convince more people to eventually move to Threema as messaging app.
Next in line for decommissioning are Amazon and Google.
As Europeans we should make more conscious choices about the apps we use and where our data is store. It is not easy but also not impossible. To be continued.
