I understand that it may be problematic sometimes but this was very smooth. I didn't even say anything.

A: what's your number for the whatsapp group Me: I don't have whatsapp because of facebook. B: ok, we have to use signal then A: ok

And that was it. Life can be very easy sometimes

I convinced my family by telling them I won't use anything else. Use Signal or don't talk to me. Win win

They Uno Reversed this on me. “We’re already on Whatsapp, you’re isolating yourself”
