I'm waiting to see what happens before I make any moves. I've been on Meta apps for over a decade, I don't want to lose the connections if I don't have to.

I know this got a lot of downvotes, that's fine. Most of my friends are not tech-savvy or young, they're not going to be signing up for Lemmy or Mastodon. I'm not ready to lose touch with them entirely. I have taken steps to limit what info Meta can collect from me and stopped posting there entirely. I check in now and then to see if there's anything big, but that's it.

How many of those connections would you say are actively maintained instead of just passively there?

Those that are actively maintained you can likely send them something like Signal and start chatting on that instead.
