I wouldn’t even download it if they paid me for it.
WhatsApps main “killer feature” was being early in the market to quickly reach a critical user mass.
Doesn’t matter which competitor, people will install an alternative, see that only 5-10% of their contacts have it and will immediately uninstall.
I see potential in preinstalled messaging apps. But it needs to be cross-compatible between iOS and Android. Otherwise it won’t fly.
Many have tried, many have failed.
You simply need a killer feature to get people to change.
I actually have issues with wefwef now, gives me a lot of errors.
But I think the next days will be a little rough because of many new signups.
I think everybody checked the own posts for the karma they got for it. So I think it plays a huge role. Of course some people go too far and make it the only thing that matters about it. I won’t miss those people.
Paying a monthly fee and not even being able to see all content? No thank you.
The amount of content is already fine. You are actually able to have meaningful discussions instead of being comment No 1000 that nobody reads.
So they did something right for the wrong reasons and with the wrong measures?

If you are a member of such a small community, be sure to create it here. Users will usually take a look at Lemmy and first search for their favorite topics. If they don’t find anything, they will go back to Reddit…
The end of Sync is the reason why I will leave Reddit at the end of the month. So nice to see that we eventually might get a new app for Lemmy!
Well, you pay with your data so there’s that…
