Mostly, not only, but in any case I'm not disputing that. I'm just expressing that despite the fact that I use WeChat a lot, and need to use WeChat a lot, I still don't actually like the thing. I just like my friends enough that I will grudgingly use WeChat because "everyone" (in my circle) does.

I feel that someone who really respects their privacy should not hang out with friends who don't respect their own privacy. Because inevitably, their friends will post enough material to compromise the privacy of everyone in the circle.

A year after I stopped using Facebook actively, all of my friends have stopped hanging out with me. It's just me, my family, and my coworkers.

wechat is a chinese application. asian people != chinese.

I hang out with "asian people" all the time, but I use kakaotalk because I'm actually hanging out with Koreans. Or I use line with my Japanese friends.

I only use WeChat with my Alibaba suppliers. No one else I know uses it.

lol, yeah. i've never even heard of someone in the bay having it.

It's specific to a certain demographic. Same with Kakaotalk for Koreans and Line for Japanese people.

Asian ==> Chinese
