God, I don’t wanna look like a crazy tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist to my friends, but I hope one day they magically get concerned or ask me for privacy respecting alternative services. I haven’t really had the chance to actually test how good Revolt, Matrix, and SimpleX are, but all of them would be worth trying a million times more than Discord.
I wish we would use Signal instead. But unfortunately I have to resign myself to using Discord and GroupMe for school and friends. At least they don’t hate me for not using Insta, although some randos do seem to be annoyed by my reluctance to use it on first meet.
It’s just so hard trying not to isolate myself from friends. I get that the alternatives aren’t always great (might lack video calls, easy bot management, sever costs, shitty UX and onboarding, etc.) but we gotta at least give them a try…

It’s Facebook Messenger for me. It’s impossible to get everyone to shift. Many of us have had Signal for years.
