Before "educating", lead by example. get rid of the oculus, delete your facebook account, use simplex instead of whatsapp (or signal, or telegram)
moving away from facebook, google and microsoft takes time but it's totally worth it
I use and do all of the above. The occulus was free and I hadn't used it in ages.
The majority of the world uses IG and Facebook.... So it's a dilemma. Either not connect with plebs and normies for principles, or engage as little as possible to be able to connect. Change is slow unfortunately. But when people do get curious I'm ready to show and help with the decentralized things: Nostr, SimpleX, Bitcoin, Phoenix, Tor, Proton, etc. GrapheneOS is my next endeavor as well.
The point of my note is to move away from using these platforms. Or at least be aware of how much data they're harvesting.

To clarify, are you saying Signal and Telegram are ok alternatives or bad alternatives?
reply
bad alternatives
they both require a phone number, both have shitcoin links, both of them store all your data (you can't compile either and run on your own server) and they both leak metadata
Simplex is miles ahead

Agree. I don't use Telegram or Signal either.
