@jwildeboer I quite enjoy the fact that people feel free to respond in the language they are more comfortable. Some I understand, some I can try to translate and that is what it is. But I do live in a multilingual world so that is where I'm most comfortable... in general I notice that my choice of a language depends on where I learned about the topic: family stuff in the Italy of my childhood, most adult stuff in English + some Dutch I picked up (ie pandemic maatregelen)

@rbonifaz @jwildeboer most people use WhatsApp here to manage both social life and business. I guess it's both concerns about privacy as Meta has become very quickly more invasive on the other platforms and a political gesture against zuckerberg

@avocado_toast @gleick @pluralistic maybe so, but lock-in mechanisms are a serious and recognised phenomena across technology that cannot be discounted. I am one of the cases Doctorow mentions: I emigrated twice and the bog standard social media is the only place I can keep in touch with family and friends. I left Insta this week, but I know it will make my world a little smaller - and what with Covid and general migrant difficulties, it is already rather small 😢
