The title says it all. Part of what i do now is to convince people to care about their privacy. I know I cannot force people to do anything. And I have a charisma level of -1, if this was an rpg. Like its nonnexistent.
I feel lonely in general because it feels like people make me feel like I’m delusional for caring about protecting my privacy. Maybe there is a support group for that🤣🤣🤣
But anything I can specifically say that works best in planting a seed in people’s mind?

Its definitely a marathon😭😭 i still have more privacy stuff left to do. Including getting a new email account, switching my main laptop to linux, deleting accounts.
Truu, maybe i have more tech knowledge than i think, so its easy and painless for me🤣 youre right, maybe not for others
It’s a neverending process. 😄 I’ve been at this for some 3-4 years now, and was ready to delete WhatsApp only about 6 months ago, and it’s already left me out of some local groups. Worth it though, and one group moved with me. And just now in the process of hopefully moving from Graphene to PostmarketOS (functional on an OP6) or Ubuntu Touch (to be installed on a FP4), just a matter of deciding which one. In retrospect, I could have skipped this Graphene phase and just gone from Divest to Linux, but I wasn’t ready then.
IMHO if you try to do things before it feels like “okay this works, next I want to try…”, you’re likely to just get overwhelmed and take a step back.
Truu it definitely is😭😭 im trying put linux on my surface tablet, its gonna be a hot mess.
Wait your moving from graphene? Yeah if you dont own a pixel, i guess you have to🙄🙄
Truu linux is a big step but it will work out! Good luck❤️❤️
Don’t get me wrong, Graphene would still be my choice for privacy & security. But what started out as a quest for privacy has somehow morphed to include FLOSS idealism, even AOSP derivatives feel “too google” now and I feel bad carrying a Pixel.
I feel the same. Like why do we have carry a google device to ungoogle ourselves. Its a confusing topic🤣🤣
Personally in my head( just in my head, not facts), i do not believe that pixels have any better hardware than my one plus. I think its suscipious. Graphene is only one not offering to other phones, so hmmm.
