@janakj The reason I say nobody wants to hear a spiel is because nobody wants to hear a spiel. Except, of course, here—where people are true believers.

@janakj I’m not talking about true believers in WhatsApp. I’m talking about true believers in Matrix/Signal/XMPP/etc. I’m not interested in arguing. |
@atomicpoet I’d argue most WhatsApp users in Asia are not true believers. It’s purely network effects. WhatsApp got a toehold when other messaging services were too expensive, and switching costs are astronomical.
You can argue (or not argue) to your heart’s content, but short of WhatsApp going down hard for days (or out of business), no one there is going to switch.
