I get frustrated by things like this, these walled gardens of people I know. I wish I could just switch to signal but I've found people would rather just not talk to me than download a new messenger app

I've settled for just talking to the people I can convince on different messengers and now have ~5 messenger apps on my phone.

I don't have a large friend group, but got most of them to switch after I left Facebook. I just don't tell people I have WA and only use it if I'm forced to. You might have better luck since Signal has improved a lot in the last 6 months and there is a good desktop app. But you might need better friends. Friends that might warn you about how your username suggests you're a Nazi (I assume this is unintentional and just your birthday year)[0]
