    “I use signal. If you care about our friendship, you’ll install it too.”

    I have friends that got it just for me. I also lost some so-called “friends”

    EDIT:

    just to add some context:

    I explained the reasons to this “friend” I told him about privacy, about foss, about owning my data, about making my own backups, how important that was to me.

    His answer: “I am not gonna install a different messenger just for you. I thought you valuated our friendship. I can see now how little it means to you”

    So, yeah… make your own conclusions.

    Besides that, I live in a country that take decisions about you based on your social media opinions.

      The best kinds of friendships are those where one makes demands under threat of ending the friendship.

        I can see how my original comment was pretty much context-less… I edited it to added some

          I’m not gonna change my post, it’s the same statement, just different context lol

          If that’s really how they said it, you’re better off. There’s a million ways to talk with someone and the way you pick shouldn’t be the break of a relationship.
