I understand that it may be problematic sometimes but this was very smooth. I didn't even say anything.

A: what's your number for the whatsapp group Me: I don't have whatsapp because of facebook. B: ok, we have to use signal then A: ok

And that was it. Life can be very easy sometimes

At first from the title it seemed like they changed app to avoid you

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 53 points 4 weeks ago

yeah, that was funny. Creating a group without OP wasn't enough, they had to change apps lol

That's exactly what I thought as well from reading the headline. It definitely could have been worded better.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's how it plans out.

A regular group chat and another signal one for when you specifically need to talk to OP.
