I can’t control my contacts. I can control what I do. I was personally getting annoyed enough with Discord that I uninstalled the thing and stopped visiting it on the web. My account still exists AFAIK. I didn’t make a big production of it nor tell anyone; I simply left.
It was a bit of a sacrifice because I don’t connect with an extremely rewarding community on there as much anymore. Thankfully they still host IRL meetups and I do go to those.
I’m opinionated about messaging apps but I don’t try to convince anyone. Well, other than siblings and SOs. People who want to talk to me can find me on the apps I do hang out in. If they ask why I’m not on the big ones I will gladly tell them. But where they end up is their decision, not mine.

Android–Linux user here. I’ve always been a big fan of GNOME; I’m amazed at how polished it is. I got the sense it approached macOS levels (I’m not a macOS user). This is the first time I’ve seen an actual user say this.
