Just send them the app url and let them know you do private chats on a private messenger. Show them all the fun stuff like stickers, GIFS, groups, stories, etc. Save the delete messages stuff for later.

Pretty sure they log your IP

I think Posteo works for this as well. Could be wrong

Just let them know you don’t want Facebook having anything more on you than they already do. Let them know it has everything people want in messaging apps like stickers (whatever the heck those are?!), GIFS, video and phone calls, groups, etc.

I would suggest an alternative that allows you to use any of the “Big Ones” like iCloud/OneDrive/GoogleCloud/ Dropbox.

Buy Cryptomator on whatever device(s) need access and set up a single vault on any cloud service you use. This vault will be client-side end to end encrypted which means its just you with knowledge of and managing the encryption keys. Put them in your password manager for a while until you memorize.

Remember, if they aren’t YOUR keys, it doesn’t really belong exclusively to you.

Yep, should serve as a corollary to the “cloud is just someone else’s computer” meme.

It would be great if the swipe was more adjustable (ie distance from edge of device to start from, sensitivity, etc). Also a left swipe for “go back to previous” would be nice for when you accidentally swipe out.

Nah, the Redditors worth having (mods, power users, content posters and serial repliers) don’t want to grant the level of access to device and engagement info (particularly UUID and any thread tying multiple seperate accounts) that RedditApp allows Reddit the platform to aggregate and leverage.

Anyone who uses Reddit seriously is probably long-spoiled to the niceties offered by the 3rd-party apps. I’ll enjoy watching the value of content degrade to the point its all ads and scammers/bots pumping out garbage to show nobody.
