I’ve recently discovered element and revolt as alternatives for discord and Snapchat. We mainly use Snapchat for text chat so not being able to send snaps is not a deal-breaker. It’s quite difficult to get people to switch over to something else because they know their current service and “it just works”. Snapchat for android is terrible and some of my friends agree so I wouldn’t say that “It just works”. I need some tips as to how to convince them to switch. Thanks in advance :-)

Just delete your account on the old service. I deleted Whatsapp and most of my close friends were unwilling to install „another app“ at first.
I was fine with their point of view and we started texting via SMS. After a while they realized that switching is more comfortable than writing via SMS and they were fine.
Only works for close friends though. Others may simply cut ties then
Why not try Signal? Very simple and works easy on Android.
Down vote me if you must, but I’d say “don’t be that guy.”
It took me a long time to learn this lesson; sometimes it’s okay let things go. If it isn’t costing you a lot of money, just use the one your freinds are okay with.
It’s easier to just get new friends.
I’m unfamiliar with element and revolt. Someone suggested Session to me and it looks interesting. Jami sounds good in principle but it’s been too flaky to use for me so far. Jitsi Meet is maybe ok and I guess I’ll try it next.
