True, but establishing a parallel medium of communication would be a good start. How would people react if you asked them to write you on Signal or some other WhatsApp alternative? It has been a painful process for me, that literally took years, but now I have most of my chats on Signal and Telegram. At some point I've also been able to delete my WhatsApp account for like two years
Not even a chance. I even made a pretty extensive post on my job about it (I work with social media for a radio) but didn't even catch the interest of any of my friends. I use Signal pretty much to talk to the one friend I managed to make the switch (since he was already interested in doing so).
