    How did you get around people you are in contact with flat out refusing to explore alternatives like they owe zuck?

      Not OP, but those people are just not my friends any more.

      We had one person in our group say she wanted to delete facebook and we were all “Yea, alright then” and just moved that group to discord.

      I’ve still got an account but use it way less these days since all the people I really cared about were in that group.

      Luckily for me, anyone who wanted to keep in touch simply has my number to just call or jumped onto Telegram train with me some time ago and then switched for Signal after just a few months.

      I don’t know anyone who feels like they owe Zuck anything but I heard quite a few times “I would delete my fb account but I need it for a work group chat because everyone else is there” and I can sometimes see some FOMO there.

      But then, now some of those groups afaik are slowly migrating to Discord — which maybe is not perfect but still sometimes any change is a big change.
