Yeah, I still find it impressive how good mastodon and lemmy are given the limitations.

For sure, and that is possible for personal things, but for social things it’s almost impossible to live without some features.

People don’t want to step down their level of comfort when it comes to WhatsApp (where I live people don’t use SMS because they’re limited), so you’re forced to either keep your contacts (which includes family) or move to signal/threema/session/matrix/etc. But have no one to talk to
