I use messenger to keep contact with my mom, dad and siblings. If I delete it i literally can’t talk to them so it’s kinda necessary at this point

Your parents and siblings wouldn’t answer you if you texted or called them?

That’s pretty bleak

Of course it can’t work right away for everyone. But it’s a conversation you can have, explain your concerns, why it would be better to move on to a different software.

I used to talk to my family over WhatsApp, until they had a 24h outage and we switched to Signal, to never come back. But I still have dozens of other people there who won’t switch. At some point it’s a tradeoff you decide to make

You can deactivate your Facebook account, it keeps messenger ONLY still active. A great step while you encourage them to try a different app.
