How do I transition my friends from Instagram DMs to Signal as a Gen Z individual in the US?
I just don't see it happening. Shit I have a hard time getting them to use god damn Whatsapp or Telegram (still bad but at least better than Instagram).
They are all iPhone users in the US so as you may expect they are too damn lazy to install another messaging app despite having Instagram Snapchat Tiktok BeReal and whatever shitty social media app that exists on the App Store.
For the love of god don't just say "you need bettee friends" 😂 cause let's be honest finding a privacy conscious person that you also can get along with in the US as Gen Z is practically impossible.
Yeah have the same issue. Why tf are all the normies using this dogwater called wattsapp is beyond me.
I just stopped using those apps, if anybody wants to reach me, they have my number. Suddenly I have a bit more free time. Win win.
well, people started using it for years and years, then facebook bought it. the more people and the more tightly knit, the more the platform solidifies, the harder it is for people to move. suddenly it's easier to contact businesses through whatsapp than e-mail. I remember one time when whatsapp fucked up and everyone wanted to move to telegram, but when asked why they haven't done so yet, they replied "I'm just waiting for people to start dipping"
