Do they have a need to communicate with you?

If so, you can just not install WhatsApp. Smartphones allow them to install multiple communicating apps, so your friends could remember to use signal when talking to you.

Talk to your local representatives about it.

In my area they seem to send answer alerts that link to Xitter. And you can't see alert unless you have an account.

There's no good reason why they shouldn't post those details on their own site, but they won't until people put pressure on them.

Big deal. My Toyota Celica beat Bolt's record too.

Ah lol, I somehow missed that. I thought Lemmy was storing client information with comments.

It looks like it doesn't show embedded images that don't originate from the Lenny server.

How do you know which client someone is using?

This is done on purpose, to make people to switch to their e-mail or use them for hosting.

Google did the same thing with XMPP (they were welcomed when they joined, then they made it so XMPP users couldn't message GTalk/Hangouts users, but the other way worked), they tried similar thing with Usenet, but they never get dominance there so they let their services to be major source of spam on Usenet until they were blocked, ultimately removing Usenet indexing from Google).

I would really encourage to contact our local reps (both federal as well as state) and encourage them to introduce legislation that would punish this practice.

I've been hosting my e-mail for over 2 decades now, e-mail goes everywhere but gmail (despite working with them for years). They are doing it exactly so people stop doing it.

It's basically the same thing Google did with XMPP.

I have this problem for a while as well. Similar to you all mechanisms are implemented multiple sites say the configuration is correct, even headers in Gmail say DKIM and SPF passed. E-mail arrives everywhere except for gmail.

Thanks for posting, at least I know I'm not the only one.
