      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.

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

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

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

        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.

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

      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.
