Have you ever converted another “normie” to use a federated social media platform ? (lemmy.world)

When I say normie I mean someone who doesn’t care about self-hosting doesn’t really care that much about privacy and you wouldn’t consider deep tech hobbyist.

If you did , how did you do it ? Did they stay ?

Or if someone did convert you , how did they do it ?

I really hate the word normie, independently of the intention it sounds elitist for being on some niche part of the internet
