How does that differ from something like Nextcloud?

WhatsApp is cryptographically secure but yea, still collects your contacts

Still a pain :( they’re too afraid we’ll use regional pricing?

still means they’re willing to collect data

it's often a pain to install in computers that don't have it by default, like school computers or similar, but alright, didn't know it!

+some people don't like installing stuff

+you can't collaborate with other people on the default LibreOffice I iirc

A bit of both I guess

Web apps have the advantage of not requiring admin permission and being accessible from pretty much everywhere, and they are often less intensive I believe

And I guess cloud storage of documents makes it even better

Not FOSS and probably not privacy friendly

Your main problem is that you’re saying capitalism = USA. There are a lot more other countries that aren’t involved in genocides

The only arguments I’ve seen in this thread are "but USA corrupted them so it’s entirely their fault" and "but somewhere in the world some people had worse living conditions"

I think we’re all suffering from confirmation bias in this thread

I have to admit I don’t know a lot about communism and geopolitics overall, but so far I haven’t seen a successful implementation of it that would make me want to live there, and the main countries that approaches its definition are a huge red flag to me
