They all have iPhones and Google Android. Since all my calls and text messages are monitored on their phones, am I causing any additional harm to myself by using Google Messages on GrapheneOS? That way I could at least use RCS messaging.
delta chat. solves this problem as it uses the email protocol with pgp (when available), so from your end it’s a chat client and from their end it’s an email from you.
if they find it too annoying to reply by email they could just install the delta chat “email client”, too ;)
Don’t cut off contacts unless absolutely necessary.
I did it for years, and now I’m living again; I have access to events too, simply because I’m now on WhatsApp and Discord. It’s a shame, but that’s how it is. But you can control what you decide to say, and make a physical appointment and then share IRL.
If you choose to boycott, the big risk is standing alone and just arming yourself, as you mentioned.
I think you already know the answer.
Joining a militant network is another way to find people who share your concerns, but you will have to search for them, and that can require a significant effort. But you will have new friends, and make your socials, bigger. Thats a good thing.
You will have many networks, separated.
I don’t know what else to say.
From now on, I’m ending every post with an “I dont know what else to say.” Fucking mint.
Edit: I don’t know what else to say.
Fucking mint.
I think you just gave your age away ;-)
Old? Young? I actually don’t know. :(
