I wish messaging apps of same type were federated. (lemmygrad.ml)

I wouldn't mind if EU made it mandatory for them to be. I really hate that I have to use Whatsapp because it's the sole way I can stay in touch with people I must be able to contact.

I also wouldn't mind "swapping" to contacting my friend via Discord if the federation was made so I could use a different means of contacting them such as Revolt.

I know Beeper exists, but you still need to have account with the platform you don't like and in Whatsapp case's, you need Whatsapp installed.

Please stop making it so easy. It's really not

It is. I did it. The power must be balanced or on your side of course. There are many people that just have signal or element installed just because of me.

Once, I convinced 6 people to use elment for a video call. 6 people installed it just because we wanted to call each other. It wasn't difficult at all.

It's not if 99% of people around you use WhatsApp.

I started at the same point. I deleted whatsapp and told people where to reach me.
