I can't even get my social circle to switch from WhatsApp to Signal, let alone anything else. I use Conversations, a feature rich XMPP client for select stuff.

I essentially did this with Facebook. People still fucking contact me on Messenger.
while i agree, i figure most people would be really annoyed with this
Good, they can delete WhatsApp to fix that. What is your solution and how many times has it actually worked?
no, they can't, thats not how this works. we haven't solved this.
So, try this.
i don't really want people pulling this type of stuff on me, and i don't feel like doing it to others. i don't feel like its a solution either.
You're not looking for a solution.
i'm not looking to be an ass to my social circle. thats not a solution.
So, stop helping WhatsApp. Tell us when you've found a solution.
i'm not "helping" them. you tell us too.
Already did.
