  • I’ve had some luck getting some of my people to switch over by asking them to switch as a favor to me specifically (if they want to of course… And they can always just not use it if they end up not liking it).

    Asking them in a more direct way like this seems to work, even if there’s some reluctance at first. I tell them that it helps me out because I can also send stuff to them on my computer, which is true. Then there’s the fact that I just really like all of the extra features it has (it’s just a really good chat app in general), emoji replies, reply quotes, and read receipts to name a few.

    If they need any other reasons, the last things I tend to get into are the privacy/security aspects.

    Boom, all of a sudden they’re using something better, and even though they’re probably still using those other (shit) apps, at least I don’t have to. You have to start somewhere, right?











  • Sorry, friend. I was just trying to create a little subversion, but I know that doesn’t always help.

    I do sympathize though. Being alone and lonely for so long DOES suck… Holiday’s are so superficial/commercial nowadays too and many of us just don’t have the motivation or energy to suffer through them.

    I’m not really doing anything special either, if it makes you feel any better. I genuinely would rather be playing games and watch porn than the menial social get together I’m obliged to.
