Remind myself of the 80/20 idea (or something like that)
20% of the effort gets you 80% there. Easy things like using Firefox instead of Chrome, Signal/Telegram instead of FB messenger/Whatsapp, managing cookies and opting out of tracking options is already doing a lot more than most people.
Well said
I've been wanting to ditch FB messenger for years now, but everyone I communicate with use it, so it's impossible.
I try to encourage basically everyone I'm friends with to move to Telegram or Signal to talk to me. If they don't, they get slower responses 🤷 I don't open it regularly
I just get rolling eyes and the "I don't want another app for messaging..." whenever I suggest it.
Yea I get that from some people. I just say "well this app is better and more secure/privacy oriented. It's most of what I use so if you want faster responses that's what I'd recommend"
