From my very little experience there are a few categories:
- groups where privacy is a matter of personal security will actively use Libre Software and their own services because it's just too important
- groups emerging from the technical world will naturally adopt Libre software and decentralized services because tech doesn't scare them
- everyone else comes from a world where FB/Twitter/Instagram is the norm, so when they group together on issues related to the physical world they will continue to use the digital tools they are used to
There is a real work of deconstructing our tools and the prevalence of big tech in our digital world, just like there was a necessity to deconstruct the position of white males in a patriarchal, occidental society.
