Un fallo simple en #WhatsApp dejó al descubierto 3.500 millones de números de teléfono: la mayor exposición de datos de la historia
Transitioning ones social network from one system to another can be a heavy lift. It is not the act of a single person, it is the act of a community. If you want it to happen, you can be a leader in your community. You can make it be:

An invitation: I'm going to try moving over here for a while, I'd like you to join me.

Baby steps: I'll meet you where you are for now, we're not abandoning you. Come over here when you're ready.
