This morning, my entire family either switched or said they already had a Signal account. Now we have a family Signal chat.

I expected resistance, not compliance! I’m very happy.

    One of my friends still uses google hangout to talk with me. I’m the only person they talk to on there. I ask them every so often to switch to signal. It’s, like, trivial to install. it’s free. They won’t do it. It’s too much.

    I do not understand ADHD depression brain and I want to be kind but I’m also like “just give me your phone I’ll do it”.

      Rough. My aunt is like that. Every time I log into hangout, I see a bunch of messages from her and kept telling her I’m not active.

      She suggested we switch to Facebook. I cant deal with this.

      Getting used to a new UI can be stressful and taxing to the audhd brain. If it’s your own choice that stress and effort can be fun, it can be an adventure. But if you perceive the world around you to be forcing you into it, it feels like being attacked. Other people forcing you into an exhausting situation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathological_demand_avoidance

      I had a meltdown for most of a day the last time I updated Discord on My phone.

      I’m the exact same (I have said give me your phone I’ll do it before lol), but I think it’s that they don’t like change so much that any amount of change stresses them out a lot.

      I guess you gotta wait till google kills Hangout, can’t be that long right (I didn’t know it still existing, I’m surprised it does knowing that Google kills every app)?
