I'm about to cave and become a normie again...
It's becoming rather too annoying and excluding not to be on here.
I may use a different number to provide some separation.

Apparently I wrote a review for it back in 2012. I remember buying a subscription for it, before it was bought by Facebook and became "cool".
@hugh yeah I had to cave too, too much stuff for kid- and village-related stuff is on whatsapp. :(
@CatherineFlick ah that sucks 😞 I can imagine for kid stuff all the other parents are on it so...yeah.
@CatherineFlick @hugh I’ve long given up on the personal side. Recently also caved on my separate work number and setup WA business on that (so could retain a single phone with dual lines). Real real pain but cost/benefit of trying to change people; gave up, sadly.
@CatherineFlick @hugh failed miserably there too
@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.
@hugh Huh? That is the complete opposite of my experience. It was already mainstream in 2012, when Facebook bought it people started to boycott the app 😂 (without much success)
