“I use Signal to hide my data from the US government and big tech”
“Wait, you seriously still use Reddit? Everyone switched to the Fediverse!”
“Wow, can’t believe you use Apple! Android is so much better.”
No one who isn’t terminally online understands what these statements mean. If you want people to use something else, don’t make it about privacy and choose something with fancy buttons and cool features that looks close enough to what they have. They do not care about privacy and are literally of the mindset “if I have nothing to hide I have nothing to fear”. They sleep well at night.

And that’s why the world is rapidly going to hell. Everyone is under attack and almost no one is willing to so much as lift a finger in resistance.
