@woutertoday. Realizing I won’t make anyone think twice about it if I don’t walk the talk. Facebook has disappointed me in many ways and showed on numerous occasions it didn’t deserve my trust, wasn’t aligned with my values and failed at just about everything including what I hoped it’d bring: stay connected with friends. I stopped using WhatsApp for months and got a glimspe of what it’d mean for me. I’ve been ready to press the button and decided to wait one last week. Coincidentally, I heard about yet another data leak so I felt a fool for not doing it a week earlier. Now it’s just a first step. Personaly, I have a plan for an Insta/Facebook replacement but it needs some preparation. The trickier part is my apps. I don’t know if I can afford not to be on Insta & Facebook. Anyway, I figured you’ve got to start somewhere, and I started with WhatsApp.

I've been thinking about doing the same! Leaving the whole FB ecosystem. Whatsapp is still just a really big step since everyone in my country uses it, though.
