I told my friends / family if they wanted to reach me, I'd be on Signal/Molly. Turns out it isn't that hard to have them download a new app and use it.

Same here, all the people I care about did. Those I don't really care about use sms to contact me if they really have to. Of course I miss out on some groups on Whatsapp, but honestly I'm glad. It's not really useful to be in a lot of Whatsapp groups, it mostly creates a lot of uninteresting messages for you to read.
