I just made the choice to do it. I let my contacts know I'd no longer be available on WhatsApp - but they can reach me through calling, email, text/signal. I'm definitely missing out on some interactions but at the end of the day, who cares? If it's really that important I'll get the message another way. I know it's the reality now that most parents/schools use WhatsApp but that's not a reason to not want change. Crucial information should be sent via email anyways. I also think this is the only way to actually move off the platform. You can't half-ass it, because why would others move away when you're still available?
