years ago, most people i knew used facebook messenger and they still do. if they wanted to talk to me, they needed to use signal. it's either talk to me on my terms or don't talk to me. sorry. i don't use fb.

most people are sheepy so they won't go on new apps unless you are extra special, your mother might.
it's a good strategy tho, that's how I feel about accepting Bitcoin only, it's my terms no exceptions,
you're correct here. i had many people come and go over the years. it didn't happen over night. it was only my wife and kids for those first few years. in time, things grew.
