I left WhatsApp (don’t have facebook or instagram) and it meant leaving a chat group with my university friends who did not want to download signal. I felt both excluded and sad that they don’t think these things matter, but then all of the other chat groups with other friends did want to join signal- one even said- this is the unglamorous version of WhatsApp, and then we resumed our heavy gossiping, and all is well in the world. My university friends are kind but not important enough for me to not follow my ethical standards.
Love it! And i'd expect nothing less from you. I will say, my longtime friend who hates texting has actually been texting me. And I've forgotten all about ol' IG and FB - the transition was way easier than I thought it would be.
Also, I bet you and your friends have some amazing chats!!
