I have started using privacy respecting software as much as I can for a while now. Particularly social media. I started with deleting my reddit account, and then one by one deleted twitter, instagram and all. The one thing I couldn’t leave was whatsapp. I just cannot seem to leave it. Not just friends and family, but outside too. My mentor just use whatsapp for all types of communication except for some absolutely formal documents, where he uses email. Otherwise he doesn’t seem to respond to email.

So, my question: If you have made the switch, have you convinced your peers to also make the switch?
