Why are there good mods for Discord (Aliucord, Vendetta…) and YouTube (Revanced), but no good mods for WhatsApp?
I feel like all apps by the user-stalking company Meta are not modded enough, though they are some of the most-used apps.

I’m also one of those who use a matrix bridge for WhatsApp and never see the real app only use it with Element.
Never thought of this possibility. This is really interesting.
Not sure why you are getting the downvotes, Matrix is really an underated app.
Yes, it definitely seem underrated.
About the downvotes, this is not the first time that has happened. I have been repeatedly getting downvoted on some of the tech or related communities on Lemmy instances recently for completely innocuous comments. Since I am on kbin, they don’t impact me in anyway, but I have been puzzled about it. The only explanation I can come up with is something I wrote at some point offended someone and they are just down voting whatever post they see of mine with multiple accounts.
Happened to me too I think when I engage with lemmy.world
Huh, I wonder if there are downvoting bots set up by trolls then…
Yeah this is weird.
It’s also nice because you only need one messenger for WhatsApp, Telegram and Signal combined.
Plus all of those chats are searchable and backed up in one single location
Not very familiar with using Matrix bridges, can they handle WhatsApp calls? (Not asking about Signal because I would like to keep using it)
It’s possibile by implementing also a turn server like this on your synapse (or whatever server you are using)
I’ll try and report back
Edit: It does not seem to work. Incoming Calls only send a text message “incoming call”
Okay, so you will get a notification that there was a call but can’t really attend it. That’s still pretty neat!
What’s the benefit with a bridge?
You have only one UI for all text chats, no need to remember on which app you talked with your cousin and on which app you talked with your friend. All of them are in this one app.
