No, it's not because life without Instagram is sad. Read the other reply for a real reason. People stay on platforms to keep in touch with others and those others do the same.
It's only "generational" because half the world didn't grow up with the Internet as their primary form of communication. But I'm against that label because it's true for anyone who uses a service a lot.
I would LOVE to stop using Discord but there's no way I'm convincing all my friends to run two chat programs (Matrix for me, Discord for their other friends)
Can't you set up a Discord bridge on Matrix, so you can still participate at least in text convos? I did that years ago and it worked pretty well.
If that works, you can convince them one at a time since the switching cost would be lower.
Sure, but then I'm still using discord's servers. And it's very unlikely I'd be convincing anyone until Discord screws up bad on something that affects them
Surely you could convince a couple. Find some cool rooms on Matrix and maybe you'll get a couple more to join.
