It's been difficult to broach the subject and explain the technical concepts to the average person. I did have some success in first sharing the email comparison, which lead into interoperability.

I'm just curious to hear people's success stories, if you have any.

i don’t think there’s much interest in doing something different

See that's the part that I don't really get though. Why is it so difficult to break free? People always want to complain but never want to be part of the solution.

Interesting that you don't talk about it. Is that just because you prefer to keep your identity here separate from real life, or some other reason(s)?

Most people i know don't complain a lot about the other places. When i bring up the constant marketing and such, they mostly don't care. When interacting with people you know on social media there's an expectation that you follow them, post/respond appropriately, etc. It's tiring. I would use a different account.
