Then go tell that to all of your WhatsApp contacts, people won’t change apps.
I have zero such contacts. For the moment, I tolerate Signal. When it falls I’ll switch to self-hosted Matrix.
I’m not touching an app owned by Meta. If people want to message me, they can use Signal.
Turns out, this policy has weeded out lots of useless conversations from my life. So, I see it as a win.
but that’s the beaury of email! people don’t need to be on the same app to communicate with each other!
that arbitrary walled-off garden of whatsapp doesn’t hamper anyone here!
Of course there are alternatives, that’s not the main problem, it’s the adoption by people not familiar or interested in tech.
