I’ve been trying to migrate away from snapchat for years now because everything about it irritates me but I’ve still got like 3 stragglers for whom it is my main form of communication.

I was in the same situation as you. Just message them elsewhere and delete it. Everyone who wasn’t willing to message me on a better platform turned out to not be that worth interacting with. All the real ones did what they could to keep talking to me without hesitation and respected my reasoning
If I do that I will literally have 2 friends left.
Maybe you could keep talking them on Snapchat, but also on the other platform too. Are they really just completely unwilling to get on something like signal? you don’t even need to make an account really
The only other platform I have most of them on is tiktok, which isn’t much better.
Everyone has whatsapp, but It’d be weird to ask for a phone number out of nowhere. All the groupchats are setup on snapchat as well, so even if I got most people on whatsapp, they’d keep organizing there.
Definitely an annoying situation, I guess maybe you could try posting about the problems that you see with Snapchat, like with articles and whatnot, whenever you have a chance, and maybe just trying to get them to change their stance on it. For me personally, leaving Snapchat was a privacy and ethics choice - and anyone who wouldn’t respect that, good riddance. I only really have two friends myself. I enjoy it usually. I get to spend lots more time with them, and an exchange have a deeper connection. Its not for everyone though.
That’s the cost of comfort.
i guess you don’t really know what the word “friend” is. but those people who refuse to leave snapchat might be considered “fake friends”
Or they just use one platform for communication with everyone and leaving it for just one person is a bit extra, like why do yall expect everyone to cater to you in order to be your friend
People’s stories remind me they exist and sometimes show me they are in the same area so we can get together. Streaks are more something kids do, once you lose them one you stop caring lol.
I had friends leave gcs/socialmedia and get mad we haven’t talked in a while, shit is a two way street, yall can hit ppl up too. I got limited time to communicate and schedule hangingout and I legit forget ppl exist if I don’t see some sign of them daily. Them leaving all social media means Idr them overtime.
If yall wanna be hard to access, you have to hit ppl up yourself, can’t complain years later no one is talking to you when they never see any sign of you.
