Telegram, discord, mastadon, signal, session, etc there are too many to list

Which are all useless if nobody you want to talk to is there.

Oh, that's why it was so easy for me. There's nobody I want to talk to.

Then simple text or oldschool phonecalls work

Facebook is a passive form of information feed on your family and friends. Phone calls are not a direct analog to them.

I can't switch away from messenger until everyone else does, because a chat app that doesn't actually connect me to the people I want to talk to is worthless to me

Lacks a publicly accessible user database. I can't get your info unless we have a mutual.

Discord is a giant data hog. It's not a good argument.

The thing that Facebook has is momentum and a passive feed.

I know these are there - I said so in my post. It does not work when others are on FB and will/can not leave for another platform.

No. Simply not suitable or practical.

But you do you.
