I just told them. "I'm on Signal or Threema. Hope to see you there."

Thankfully, the most important ones came over (although they keep using WhatsApp etc. for other normie things). Others didn't, and I no longer communicate with them.

Try this, wait for a month, and test how many of them are interested enough to be in your life :)

Yes, I can get them to switch and correspond with ME on better platforms. I'm saying that for correspondence with people other than me, they default to the most "convenient" method, without thinking twice about privacy.
