I'm really glad that there are so many good alternatives being worked on, both in terms of #hardware and #software
For most users, though, I think the learning curve for many of the alternatives is still quite steep. And even when it's simple enough, the social pressure to stick with what the vast majority uses is absurdly strong.
The #Fediverse works wonderfully already, but people are afraid of missing out if they leave the #bigtech offerings behind.
Even switching from #WhatsApp to @signalapp is perceived even by many who know that WhatsApp is problematic at best as a burden too significant to bother with.
And awareness is still lacking. Some communities with which I have connections have excellent intentions, but appear to be completely unaware of the dangers of dependence upon #platforms and #tools run by questionably #scrupulous entities.
