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?

    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.

        Good question. If my goal is to get them off these platforms then quitting cold turkey myself wouldn’t work as I found out when I quitted the fb website. For me, that has been mostly inconsequential, but messenger on the other hand is a harder nut to crack due to all the group chats. My best hope is probably to convince some of them to migrate over time, while lose contact with the rest when I move to a different city.
