The single most common excuse for not shifting to the Fediverse has been in my experience, "I can't leave because everyone is still there." I've been ~~dragging~~ encouraging people to move towards Signal and the Fediverse for years now. Gentle persistence appears to be the way.

That's exactly what I'm getting, too - the "collective action" problem Doctorow talks about. I managed to make a single person use it alongside WhatsApp, and... that's it.

I'm trying to remember how people migrated from ICQ to MSN Messenger to WhatsApp.

One of my friends uses it with me. I got my wife to install it and she'll get my signal message and text me back.
