Comment on Team Snapchat still shows up in my notifications even though I have them blocked

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.

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

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.

Delta Chat is a good whatsapp type without phone numbers, if you ever could get them to switch.

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.
