Yeah I run linux on my laptop and dont use microslop windows and migrated totaly to selfhosted forgejo and made codeberg as a mirror.Waiting to to buy the required hardware to selfhost nextcloud.

Yeah I dont have a facebook account and only had whatsapp but My friends asked me many times to create an insta account so I did it because of their constant request. I have it in my browser with adblock enabled also restricting js from facebook.net (tracking) domain.

I only told my close contacts to switch to signal and they did without any further question but other contacts didnt want to loose the mainstream.

Actually when I asked my close ones to switch to the alternative platform and they did it without any further question . But I don’t want to force people to change , What can I do is Spread awarness about it.

I totaly agree that forcing someone to switch from anything is wrong (I did it then regret it ) and I dont want to controll anyones life but what I am doing now is spreading awarness about the big tech influence on us and the alternate to get rid of big tech and take control of our life. But its sad to see many people are not aware of the influence of the big tech in our life.

I am in control of my own life not others

Yeah But I choosed it because its more like a replica to whatsapp so people can easily understand using it and dont need to relearn stuff. Also I am trying to limit US releted tech and going fully decentralized platform like lemmy,mastodon,peertube and pixelfed.

Thanks You For The Tip :)
