@sdho @mikesonn I guess I've never had an issue with not having iMessage; not sure if that's a reflection of people communicating me through other apps (Signal, Slack, FB Messenger) or that I don't really communicate to people with iDevices much.

Hey FB Messenger app: please fix your iOS notifications background checking.
I shouldn’t have an unread indicator on a message *I SENT* from another device. Ever.

@DuckDuckGo @mshelton I love Signal. I dropped Facebook Messenger and I'm not going back. My one issue with Signal is that I can't send photos in batches, only one by one. I wish they'd update that issue.

@unisa Unisa are you aware that people who answer your Facebook Messenger are soliciting bribes for late registration? Likely a scam but you need to control. Also your whistle****ing email and ethics hotline are broken! DM me for proof. @ministerdrblad1 @lindiwezungu3 @Radio702

If I wasn’t a bad enough friend for forgetting to reply before COVID I’ve just looked in my Facebook messenger and saw a message unopened from 4 days ago and now I feel like it’s rude to reply but message notifications just overwhelm me and I just put my phone down instead 🙃

@bcmikejetsfan Especially when it's a paid placement with the manufacturer - preaching to the choir 🤣 But I've seen real work teams coordinated with whatsapp and Facebook messenger. So I use lite version of messenger, and lock down all the permissions 🤷♂️ not my circus...

I said I would prefer to deal with this issue face to face instead of over FB messenger, which resulted in me being yelled at 3am this morning. How can I reason with a roommate who explodes over me showering at 2.30am like this? I had no choice but to leave and sleep at a motel

@doney @pilky The main problem I keep coming back to like you mention is the network effect.
Whole countries are completely tied to WhatsApp/Instagram/FB Messenger for their main form of communication. How do you convince, say, family or coworkers to download another app to talk to you?

@HarrietSergeant No, it’s genuine and not a scam.
Like the Twitter and Parler scenario, it’s Facebook Messenger trying to shut down a rival.
Send me a cheque made out to Campaign Against Social Harr***ment (CASH for short) and I’ll fix it for you. Don’t pay them scammers whatever you do! 😬
