Edit - y’all are awesome! I’m gonna check out all of these - thank you!!

A family member is moving out of country and convinced the best way to keep in touch is with WhatsApp. I really don’t want to install any Meta shit on my phone.

Any recommendation for a FOSS or other alternative from a company that’s less of an ethical dumpster fire?

          Lemmy isn’t secure and that’s OK because it has a different use case. The owner of your instance has acces to all your messages.

            Bruh, this is a privacy nightmare! Worse than Meta! No worse than everything! I am betrayed! I am bamboozled! I have said many things that can’t see the light of day! This is blacknail! What should I do now? Where do I go? What do I use? Who do I trust? If Lemmy isn’t secure than what does that mean for free speech within the rules? What does that mean for the transfer of ideas? What pressidemce does this set for the rest of the fediverse?!?!121 I must search my souls for the answer, maybe Anom I heard that they don’t spy on you.
