You think its awesome. Play on this.

Ideology often, isnt an argument for them. Restrain, boycott, minimalism, theses are not in their vocabulary I guess.

They want the cool stuff. They are consumers to act like that.

Example: Regarding /r/piracy, you can say original creators moved on Lemmy. Not why. And now /c/piracy is the "place to be" to have last news, features etc and /r/piracy decline very fast in quality. And there is nothing to learn anymore on it.

But just to say, dude, have faith. You brave to want convince them. Force and honor on you. But don't break your mind ^^

Regarding me, I've struggled a lot to make some of my contacts move on signal. Even they knew I just have that, Wasn't enough. Then I've just said, I just have signal, its enough for me not because of ideology but because I don't see the interest in others apps because I can have groups chat, video chat, instant messaging with it. In great quality. And the application do not DRAIN my battery's cells (never had them but I'm sure they do. Analytics baby) . That's helped a lot more to help them move 😂
