I don't mind it being down but whatsapp is like the #1 way to communicate with people now. Actually had to endure an hour long call with my gf instead of ignoring her, yikes. 😀
Been having an extremely long day at work today, 90% of our talks with clients are through WhatsApp

Not a fan of Facebook or Instagram, but WhatsApp is a really good app, imo. I rarely have to top-up my phone credit.

Let us cherish this moment, when life felt normal again, for people who still remember what normal was.

I'm not on social media at all. This news means nothing to me - it could all fall into a black hole at the end of time for all I care.

Facebook and social media are not cancer or some evil devices that make the world worse, they are just a reflex of our current society... And i can say this without any problem because i don´t use any social media, maybe with the exception of Guru3d!:D
Social media like Facebook in and of itself isn't a cancer on society but it's a tool used to spread it. Hate, bigotry, misinformation, conspiracies, manipulation, propaganda, vanity, etc: they've always been there, but things like Facebook not only make it easy to spread, but actually encourage it. Sensationalism pays, but it's also what tears people apart. A lot of terrible people have not only been given a voice but have been given power, thanks to social media.

Agreed and that's because WhatsApp has nothing to do with stinkin' social media.

Is WhatsApp technically superior to other messengers like Viber, Telegram, Skype? To me the messenger which goes down because of one or two servers is badly designed.

Society is superficial, but those tendencies only get worse when there are means for it, so in a way, social media is really bad thing. You cannot rely on people obeying the notion it is bad, they will continue to use it, if you remove the thing entirely then they will stop using it. If you don't want people to do something, remove any means for them to do it. That doesn't mean that social media websites and apps don't have any positives or any useful functions, but in general they are doing much more harm than good.

I like FB in the sense it allows me to connect to long lost friends from my childhood. Also can serve as a useful complaint vehicle against certain businesses, governmental agencies, law enforcement, etc, that can be embarassing to them if or when they fck up. Dont like the politicization of it by agenda-driven groups or individuals that spread BS, fake news or general nonsensical drivel that target unaware ppl who believe anything they see on the internet.
