sadly, there's also the part that "well everyone i know uses the big centralised services so"
tried to get my dad (who actually knows a thing or two about computers) to switch to element and he said "i have 5 apps for communication, it's so inconvenenient, a sixth would only make things worse"
Yea for sure. I was lucky enough to not have ever been attached to or have a platform like that ingrained in my life. I only ever used reddit, and only for the last year ftmp. So this place is just a natural progression for me. People are definitely stuck in their ways and ideas of how things should be, and it's a self perpetuating cycle.
lucky you, all of my family uses viber, so i have to use it too, because their friends use it so getting them to switch would be... oh would you look at that, we've achieved recursion!
