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.

"Reddit rapes us because they control it, not us. This is like that but we control it, not them, libre software. They can get fucked!"

Yes, literally, it works for me. Most people don't give a shit beyond that, that's all they need to join. But, start with a chat app first. Also, this is a replacement but they only need to add an app, not replace yet.

Pretty even handedly, I hope? I talk about the need for "shithead-proof social media," meaning, "a shithead can't buy your favorite social network and destroy it." Then I tell them how I find great content and reading on Lemmy & kinda Mastodon (and also Bluesky, don't hold it against me). I usually mention how they're not perfect, but I still prefer them greatly to the shithead alternatives.

Oh we are definitely holding it against you.
