I just don’t see it happening. Shit I have a hard time getting them to use god damn Whatsapp or Telegram (still bad but at least better than Instagram).
They are all iPhone users in the US so as you may expect they are too damn lazy to install another messaging app despite having Instagram Snapchat Tiktok BeReal and whatever shitty social media app that exists on the App Store.
For the love of god don’t just say “you need bettee friends” 😂 cause let’s be honest finding a privacy conscious person that you also can get along with in the US as Gen Z is practically impossible.
This probably won’t work for everyone but I ended up deleting social media accounts. After that, I made more of an effort to maintain the relationships I cared about. I texted more, called more, invited them out more, etc.
Slowly but surely, they became annoyed with regular SMS and I offered telegram or signal as an alternative because it gave them features they were accustomed to on social media messaging platforms.
Luckily, my friends liked me enough to download another app to keep in contact
