It is okay not to fight all the fights all at once.
Nowadays you may feel the urge to boycott ten different companies, stop using certain services, self-host a billion things, consume specific products, save energy in a certain way, and so on.
If you can do all that, great.
If not, it is okay.
Chose your battles. Do what you can and allow yourself some slack.
They* want you to be drained, exhausted, grumpy, and forced to spend more energy in fighting a billion different battles instead of focusing your effort on fewer things.
@thek3nger I think I heard of a term called "privacy fatigue" in the world of opsec and privacy, it's when you try too hard to achieve a level of privacy by changing too many things about your life that it becomes unsustainable and unlivable.
I try my best to distance myself away from big corporations as much as possible, but sometimes it's really hard. Like, YouTube is not a platform I can live without and there are frontend alternatives, but it is finicky at best.
Same thing for Google as a search engine, it's hard to move away from that because there are no viable alternatives, a lot of them are Google or Bing under the hood. DDG runs under Bing hood as far as I know.
I do encourage moving to open source alternatives if possible, but I think we need to understand that we can't go as far as cutting all electronics, living off-grid and stuff like that.
@thek3nger No. Sometimes shit is hard. We're all better served by advice to stay strong and toughen up than to give oneself excuses not to make difficult changes or to undertake difficult actions.
Of course we all need a break, but that means things like eating okay and getting enough sleep, not slacking on the fight itself. If a boycott is too hard, then the left is truly cooked. Resistance is not convenient.
