this is the real issue. network effects are a real, hard-to-overcome problem. I've successfully moved a few friends and family over to my Matrix server, while others are reluctant to leave apps like Whatsapp because "it's where I talk to everyone!"
You see the same problem with people saying they *want* to quit facebook/twitter/whatever and come over to more open platforms, but "None of my friends are on those platforms!"
