First all the bs with Twitter and Elon, then Reddit having an exodus to Lemmy (not complaining lol), then Twitch. Are we like, in an alternate self healing dimension or something?

Well everyone that I have on messenger are people I met in real life, messenger is just my equivalent of text, I’d love them to all migrate to signal, but that’s easier said than done.
This is what I did: I told everyone that I’d be quitting Facebook, and if they wished to remain in touch with me, they could reach me via SMS, Signal, Email etc. Some folks continued to stay in touch, some didn’t, and that’s how I knew who my real friends were. People who truly care about you, will find ways to stay in touch with you.
I made the first step a couple years ago which was quitting FB the website, but I still have one foot in the swamp that is messenger. I’m still working on getting my parents onto signal, so far haven’t succeeded yet. Some people can quit cold turkey like what you did, but others like me take time.
