<p>+1 Jules. There is also the question of what purposes/usages
Messaging apps are good for. <br>
</p>
<p>For a quick poll as to which flavors of pizza to order for the
meeting, Messaging apps are a good fit. For actually discussing
anything substantive, likely not. Thus, while "this (face-to-face
or Zoom) meeting could have been an email" scans, "this meeting
could have been a WhatsApp (or FB Mess) chat" does not, not
usually. :) <br>

<p>Also, looking at all the criticism leveled against social media
posts for misinformation, i suspect that short-form comms such as
memes, captions, *and* messaging chats are as much to blame for
our 21st century dys-information.</p>
<p>Besides, i like threaded emails ... i routinely save some to disk
to serve as *evidence* ... errr, i mean -- documentation. :) <br>

This is a great idea to start a whatsapp group, I would suggest
to create one and share the link here for everyone to join.
