    There’s “WhatsApp for Business” & “WhatsApp Business Solutions”.
    Catch-up, grandpa!

      I’m aware the technologies exist - I can’t fathom wanting my sensitive communications served by meta.

      Also, grandma* - my pronouns are right there.

            Wait, what confusion? I use Voyager and I have no confusion about who is whom. I can see in the lower reply box that you are balance8873@lemmy.myserv.one.

            The only issue with pronouns is that people who assume default maleness should be locked up anyway, so that’s an entirely separate issue.

                  Yeah…but then what should i do? Many people have as a mother tongue a language that is gendered (the case for many langs in europe and south america since they come from latin) and usually male is used as standard when you don’t know the interlocutor gender or is used to describe a group that has 2 or more genders.

                  Saying something like

                  People who assume default maleness should be locked up anyway

                  Is just wrong because you are just blaming innocent people for doing something they have been doing all their lives for reasons beyond their control.

              Context is important and voyager does not provide that. Many people respond to the wrong person in threads. For example you just replied to me about pronouns which isn’t my topic.

            Tbf, I don’t read unames, and my app shows the pronouns in line with and the same color as the unames, so I don’t read those either.

            Literally no clue who I’m even responding to right now. Doesn’t really matter who it is either, my response would be the same regardless of your race/gender/whatever else.

            The one exception is whenever I see something profoundly stupid I will sometimes check the uname and go “ah yes cowbee again how predictable” but that’s just pure entertainment and learning who here not to waste energy on, most comments are just comments and don’t warrant that level of self preservation.

      I think those are for sales, like b2c advertising. Not for how your business talks to each other internally to destroy databases.
