I am so happy that I’ve deleted my facebook account about 5 years ago and never since then used any app from Zuckercamp.

I still have to make a few more accounts with one of my proton mail addresses and I will de-google myself almost completely, with only youtube as an exception.

For now.

How did you get around people you are in contact with flat out refusing to explore alternatives like they owe zuck?

Not OP, but those people are just not my friends any more.

We had one person in our group say she wanted to delete facebook and we were all “Yea, alright then” and just moved that group to discord.

I’ve still got an account but use it way less these days since all the people I really cared about were in that group.
