5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

keep fighting the good fight. it’s worth it.
i’ve had more friends ask me about lemmy and peertube bc of stuff i share, which is good because that means they’re noticing. no one in my friend group is “into privacy”, but sometimes i like to ask them questions like “what will it take for you to switch from (big tech service) to something else?” & let the discussion flow from there.
since they aren’t “into privacy”, they’re not aware of how their habits feed the big tech beast, which in turn feeds all these terrible agendas. an example is how they’re against the ICE raids and say things like ACAB, yet they use Ring cameras.
recently, i’ve had a few friends ask me for alternatives to (big tech service), and one of them even asking for help degoogling!
it definitely gets hard when you feel like your advocacy has fallen on deaf ears or whatever, but all we can do is lead by example. stay the course <3
