Aks 100 people if they would switch if the other 99 would switch, and everyone would say yes.
Still, I know what you mean. It’s a serious problem. The only way I can imagine to work is to inform and educate people about the reasoning behind the switch. If people don’t know why they should stop doing something, they will continue.
This is what people like Stallman refuse to understand and it’s so frustrating trying to explain this to his fanatic supporters. Much of his die hard beliefs I think just reek of white male privilege and not caring enough to try and understand the lived experiences of other people and see why they sometimes rely on necessary evils.
The fact is, Discord is privacy nightmare but it’s resulted in the improved mental health of a lot of people by allowing them to communicate with each other in such a convenient way.
Stallman’s views honestly annoy me because he’s like a guy telling his friend to stop taking medicine because they have side effects, without realizing that the person’s mental health could plummet without their imperfect but effective drug.
edit: Downvotes but not a single person who can justify their disagreement with words. Imagine that.

The solution is to advocate for more interoperability between apps
I obliterated instagram and I can agree that it cuts a lot of ties with ppl of my age.
I definitely know what you mean. At the same time, other people might not quit those services because you are there.

But you’re still there. If they really want to talk to you they will switch.
Does not work most of the time. :(

Unless you want to stream, you could use the web app? That’s what I do.
You can stream in the web app.
In fact the web app works better than the client. It also has way less vulns.
