Absolutely. Zero Plastic is almost perfect. Opto AS well. Love the new Royal stuff as well.

This speckle glow stuff is really beautiful. I myself throw mostly Latitude and they do not have something like that, yet.

I’ve made the move to grapheneOS and away from google and meta a few weeks back. Yes, there are some things that are not as easy as before but most of my friends moved to signal with me. Some in addition to WhatsApp, some exclusively.

The only way we can change this is if we don’t participate and be vocal about it why. If this leads to people not texting me, well its their choice if they want to reach me or not. Otherwise it will be going on forever and not a single blog article will change that.

Honestly, every cafe that only distributes its menu solely via Instagram will not be visited by me. And if some contacts insist on using meta services for IM, fine, you can write an SMS or call me.

If you are not willing to do that much, you do not really understand what meta is doing.
