Isn't it obvious? I still want a place to connect for events and to talk with friends/family and not have to use fb.
Text? Fuck facebook
Most people view text as very archaic, most people dont use it anymore. (Im not one of those, but people think old is bad nowadays)
How are you going to text 20 people for an upcoming event? Thats not how things work. And its a nighmare between apple and android when texting to boot. I feel like a lot of folks here dont have many friends which is fine, but its a totally different world when you go out and do stuff and meet people and need a way to contact people and set up events.
Its also very very insecure, no more than Facebook though.
Emails or Discord? I don't like Discord, but that's been the platform of choice with my social group so I'm sort of stuck with it.
