You must have a truly mind-boggling amount of social capital to be able to switch your family/friends off of a mega platform like Discord or WhatsApp. Do you just onboard every single person who wants to talk to any of them also? Or do they see your system as "how to reach donio"

Nobody is on a single messaging platform these days they also use other stuff of course. They look at it as a simple way to reach this group of people.

You'd be surprised how easy it is to move a group chat to a new platform. Often you'll need to run a couple through, but people expect to be on multiple platforms.
