I honestly dont know if i should post it here or not, but here goes. Most people that are privacy aware (or foss aware, they go hand in hand at this point) commonly have "that one program" that they cant quite let go.

Heres the thing, in my mind when i use such a service, my mind keeps nagging me that i COULD be using another program/service (this goes vice versa really)

If you have ever been in such a situation, what did you do to keep that little gremlin in your head at bay,

I try to encourage basically everyone I'm friends with to move to Telegram or Signal to talk to me. If they don't, they get slower responses 🤷 I don't open it regularly

I just get rolling eyes and the "I don't want another app for messaging..." whenever I suggest it.

Yea I get that from some people. I just say "well this app is better and more secure/privacy oriented. It's most of what I use so if you want faster responses that's what I'd recommend"
