Thank god my OS doesn't care about EU regulation
Your OS doesn't, put the messaging apps that your friends/family/coworkers use do.
And no, you can't convince them to switch messager, I tried.
Have you used the gambling addiction and honeypot comparisons?
Or opium smoking in China one?
If somebody makes a functioning NOSTR client similar to Telegram in experience - maybe that will be convenient enough.
I, at least, managed to get most of my family to switch. I told them it was the only way they'd get pictures and updates of my son. The one small victory I'm satisfied with.
And what do you think that means the moment your OS connects to, oh I don't know, the rest of the fucking planet?
