I’ve been trying to migrate away from snapchat for years now because everything about it irritates me but I’ve still got like 3 stragglers for whom it is my main form of communication.

    I was in the same situation as you. Just message them elsewhere and delete it. Everyone who wasn’t willing to message me on a better platform turned out to not be that worth interacting with. All the real ones did what they could to keep talking to me without hesitation and respected my reasoning

        Maybe you could keep talking them on Snapchat, but also on the other platform too. Are they really just completely unwilling to get on something like signal? you don’t even need to make an account really

          The only other platform I have most of them on is tiktok, which isn’t much better.

          Everyone has whatsapp, but It’d be weird to ask for a phone number out of nowhere. All the groupchats are setup on snapchat as well, so even if I got most people on whatsapp, they’d keep organizing there.

            Or they just use one platform for communication with everyone and leaving it for just one person is a bit extra, like why do yall expect everyone to cater to you in order to be your friend
