To do what exactly? Talk to myself?

I told my friends / family if they wanted to reach me, I’d be on Signal/Molly. Turns out it isn’t that hard to have them download a new app and use it.

Same here, all the people I care about did. Those I don’t really care about use sms to contact me if they really have to. Of course I miss out on some groups on Whatsapp, but honestly I’m glad. It’s not really useful to be in a lot of Whatsapp groups, it mostly creates a lot of uninteresting messages for you to read.

Not popular enough. With Whatsapp you get to talk to pretty much everyone, from businesses to second hand sellers to your weird aunt that lives in the middle of the woods.

None of those app is popular enough anyway. You still need sms + Whatsapp + a couple of others. So adding another one is not so much of a burden. Besides, it works just like Whatsapp from a user standpoint, and no password required.

Where I live it sure as fucking hell isn’t the case. Nobody uses SMS anymore, and effectively everyone uses Whatsapp.

No one is important enough to justify using WhatsApp

Not everyone can live as a hermit to fulfil their Zucc-hate boner. Some of us have lives.
