My family is all on WhatsApp, but my friends and colleagues are on Messenger and SMS.
Previously, I would only ever use Messenger, checking SMS and WhatsApp once a month at best.
A while ago, SMS got integrated to Messenger, I started staying in touch with people who only use SMS.
Now that they're adding WhatsApp, I literally don't know a single person I can't reach from Messenger/Gmail.
I love it, and I hope things go smoothly.
I wonder how you will feel the day FB decided to ban you for whatever rule their algorithm would decide you violated.
But I'm okay with ignoring people, asking people to stop, and mercilessly blocking people when they don't. Some are unwilling to take such deliberate action to reduce unwanted communications. Some perhaps have good reasons: it'll be socially costly.
