Cuz the comments throught Lemmy/Piefed seems to indicate that literally every user on here is a FOSS/Dencentralization Purist and has 100% abandoned mainstream platforms.
I wonder if this is actually true or just a small minority of users being overrepresented.
Unfortunately yes. I use Wechat, for that it has been stupidly made a required app for people living in PR China. Worst of all there’s ID verification, and they ban your account for alternative front-ends. I hate and absolutely despise it.
Other than that, not really. I have a TikTok account for a streak (sending someone a message every day with them replying to you, consequetively for many days). Its stupid and I have thought about deleting it, but the other side having the streak would be upset.
I love wechat compared to almost every other messaging app
Good for you then, I guess it’s not that bad at what it does. I mostly just hate it for ID verification (and how many services require wechat for registration, but that isnt their fault i guess). Ads are a thing also, but they don’t really push it to people who they think are foreigners, which is why I’ve set my default language to English.
