MODERATORS
As many have pointed out, it isn't really our choice, since we have to get along and use what most people around us use.
The only solution I see is if the government mandates every messenger to use a common protocol allowing all to co-operate.
The EU is actually doing this

Though only for people in the EU. Proud to be one of them. I can now ditch WhatsApp and use Signal. Next month, gatekeepers with instant messaging apps will be forced to comply and find a solution to this till March 2024.
A step in the right direction.
