Lead by example, not by preaching. And taking a stance.

You won’t find me on any social media other than Linkedin and Twitter. And on those, I no longer post or interact with people. I keep Twitter because of announcements and Linkedin as a public CV. I also use WhatsApp because alternatives are not really viable (but I reduced its social aspect as much as possible). You’re free to make your choices. Just don’t complain about it, if you won’t heed my advices.

Your still part of the problem regardless if you use the services or not: the fact these corporations are so ingrained with the weedy roots, you can't.

Google is testing on those as we test on animals. ML for only search? Naw.

If everyone turned off their droid, stopped using their email, switched to Firefox, they would still be on top.

Yes. It's better not to, if your going to preach, yeah. As I use no services other than Signal we are just pawns in this game. We are a just pittance of income who are keeping the empire's on top. And who do you run too? DDG is owned by Apple so your only fuelling their empire.

This goes deeper than you could imagine.
