How to get friends to switch over? (lemm.ee)

I've recently discovered element and revolt as alternatives for discord and Snapchat. We mainly use Snapchat for text chat so not being able to send snaps is not a deal-breaker. It's quite difficult to get people to switch over to something else because they know their current service and "it just works". Snapchat for android is terrible and some of my friends agree so I wouldn't say that "It just works". I need some tips as to how to convince them to switch. Thanks in advance :-)

Just a word of warning re Session, it's tied up with a blockchain token so if you're not interested in cryptocurrency you might want to steer clear.

Guess I wasted 2 hours translating their services to Norwegian for nothing. Thanks for this info. I’ll get to deleting my account.
