Its just the silliest things. I would love for these people to be strapped into a chair, forcibly made to download Signal and open account, and be like "Oh, deng it Buck, its really not such a big fucking deal that I was bitching about nothing in relation to"
Do it to everyone who refuses out of non-principle and suddenly, the bullshit excuse ("but but nobody's on it") evaporates
