    Unfortunately we live in this thing called reality, and writing everyone off who isn’t willing to download signal the day they meet you isn’t something the vast majority of people are willing to do.

      So you’ll let someone you just met dictate how YOU contact THEM…. But lack the spine to ask the same to the people you meet. Fucking 🤡

      Sounds like you’ll conform to whatever the people around choose you to be and follow whatever everyone else tells you to do like a good little dog.

      Fomo and peer pressure are drugs that turn people into “useful idiots”

        Nice try strawman you made there of my argument.

        We live in a society, if you cut everyone off who doesn’t follow your very specific niche of how you feel everyone should live their life all you achieve it to cut yourself off from society.

        You might feel different, but most people want to be part of society and not the weirdo who will die on a hill of trying to force people to use their messenger

          Are you even able to read? lol

          As previously mentioned I made the switch 5 years ago and had no issues getting people to install an app or to text me.

          Maybe the people in your life won’t listen to you but that’s not the case for everyone.

          Gotta remind yourself that not everyone and everything is online and all of society is not what is happening on oligarchical networks.

          Go outside and touch some grass.
