A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

I only have it for the neighborhood group chat. Someone suggested to use Beeper for it. Anyone know if it’s safe?
Beeper is just as proprietary as whatsapp, all you'd be doing is adding another link in the corpo chain that's handling your messages
If you can't get off whatsapp, just locking down its permissions is probably a better move. Do consider never shutting up about signal in said group chat, though ;)
Signal for reasonable people, Matrix bridges for everyone else.
Peoblem is somw people just refuse to switch to Signal
Those would be the "unreasonable" people I referred to. I have generally pushed everyone else to Signal, and leave the remainder behind in mostly abandoned chats that get little attention any more.
Matrix bridges to WhatsApp?
Yup. I run one for the few platforms I have to stay connected to. Sometimes things are delayed or messages look a little funny, but its better than keeping those apps on my phone.
Cool, I didn't know it could do that!
"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"
“I use Facebook Messenger. If you care about our friendship, you’ll install it too.”
Now what?
The best kinds of friendships are those where one makes demands under threat of ending the friendship.
Not gonna lie, that's pretty toxic.
It's not friends I miss though, it's community groups.
