The title says it all. Part of what i do now is to convince people to care about their privacy. I know I cannot force people to do anything. And I have a charisma level of -1, if this was an rpg. Like its nonnexistent.

I feel lonely in general because it feels like people make me feel like I’m delusional for caring about protecting my privacy. Maybe there is a support group for that🤣🤣🤣

But anything I can specifically say that works best in planting a seed in people’s mind?

    Important point to think about. People want comvience and comfort. I think we have gotten to the point where switching to privacy respecting options is easy and painless. Using signal is easy, using lemmy is easy, and even installing linux and other os is easy. Its just getting people to spend the time to do it. Even im moving slow as hell.

    Thats truu, its more about the other people. I think i get distressed because people dont care and I should stop it🤣🤣🤣

    Thank you so much

      Using signal is easy,

      Only works if everyone else uses it too which won’t happen.

      using lemmy is easy,

      Figuring out which server to join and app to use may not be so easy. I see confused people on Lemmy asking what instance is best.

      installing linux and other os is easy.

      Installing wasn’t really ever the issue. It’s using them that’s the issue.

        Truuu, i have so many friends on signal now, but i guess my circles run different.

        Oh truu, i just looked it up. Im in world and ml🤣🤣 didnt join the sus instances. Im basic🤣

        Is using linux hard in this day and age? I installed mint yesterday and had no problems. Im terrible with technology. I promise ill learn python and kotlin this year. But yeah, it was painless and easy. And i didnt brick my computer🤣

      The autistic trait that comes back to bite me most often is the unshakeable confidence that if I just show someone the truth, they’ll believe me.

      This has bounced around in my skull since I read it in a meme here. I hate how true it is.
