@CatherineFlick ah that sucks 😞 I can imagine for kid stuff all the other parents are on it so...yeah.
@CatherineFlick @hugh curious question fo you Catherine. To open a new conversation with someone new, sms/meaaage etc how would you?
@CatherineFlick @hugh generally I find giving my phone number in the UK, exclusively means it should be able to accept WhatsApp messages. I missed half a conference updates/itenery recntly when my dedicated work mobile wasn’t.
@an0key @CatherineFlick @hugh I got a WhatsApp message rather than an SMS from a taxi company the other day.
@an0key @jon @CatherineFlick @hugh There are now at least three instant messengers that do not require you to reveal either phone number or email… Zangi, Keybase and TeleGuard. I try to promote their use with people I don’t entirely trust. TeleGuard seems to be the most popular.
