Here in the NL it's almost like some kind of privatized utility. It's used for sensitive things too.
A while ago there was an audit: Lo and behold the backups weren't e2ee. What ever happened to warrants?
Well I just told everyone I'm switching a few years back and that's that. And actually a lot of people switched because they preferred it over email and SMS.
It's best to avoid trying to persuade others. Just say how they can contact you and leave it at that.
Exactly, just stop using it yourself and let others know how they can still contact you. If they aren't willing to do that they aren't worth talking to in the first place.
To be fair I did have to install discord to stay in contact with a good friend. It's such a piece of junk I don't see what she likes about it, but ahh well.
"I will only talk to you if you use discord" doesn't sound like a good friend to me but if that works for you go for it.
Haha yea people can be all up in arms about nothing. And I'm sure my behavior appears the same to them. She's one of the most amazing people I know, incredibly kind and patient, and has always supported me in many ways.
