Threema is a good, encrypted, European alternative. Wire and Session might also be good.

DeepL translate is pretty good too.

Jeg har i et par uger haft planer om at gå i svømmeren - i dag skulle det være! Havde endda fundet det hele frem. Kan nok godt holde det ud alligevel, men er lidt træt af at det offentlige rum skal ødelægges af, at folk er så… ja, uopdragne? Er stoppet med at gå i biffen, fordi filmen alt for ofte blev ødelagt af andre biografgæster, der talte med almindelig stemmen on/off gennem hele filmen. Suk.

That’s the point - you are not unreachable if you’re not hooked up to Meta’s products. Far from it - at least from a European perspective. Threema and Wire are good European alternatives to Messenger, that are actually private. But also, the telephone has been invented, and so has sms and e-mail. The important thing is the human relationship, which continues to exist regardless of the app or technology you use to speak to each other.

I’m sorry, but I’m not sure I understand completely. Why would your phonenumber be long distance to them?

If anyone wants to talk to me, they’ll have to use one of the myriad ways to keep in touch that don’t involve Meta. I refuse to continue to be their product and help them keep the idea alive that they should somehow be unavoidable. Meta relies entirely on the relational networks of people, so I removed my node from their system and made their product a little worse for anybody interested in engaging with me. Life is better without Meta dopamin/rage addiction anyway.

Do people still use Meta’s products?

Jeg er ikke en bbq-sovsekender, men jeg kan lide den fra Coop. Den er ret røget, synes jeg.
