Lately I am trying to convince more and more people to join the fediverse and stop using facebook, instagram etc. One thing I find difficult is the following: If someone is not techsavy and (as bad as that sounds) doesn't care about privacy, which benefits do they get by joining the fediverse?

What are you convincing points for that?

@oilyfish @MrChainman RMS is forced into a very similar situation - he must convince ppl who don't care about s/w freedom to throw their support behind . This is his advice: gnu.org/philosophy/compromise.

@MrChainman @oilyfish Focus on , if you think your audience cares about that. Giving a dictator all power to suppress concentrates the whole narrative under a single power. Ppl want balanced power not kings.

@resist1984 @oilyfish
Thats a very good point. I think thats the main reason youtube started to be become less popular as a platform

@MrChainman @oilyfish is currently being bought by a right wing supporter as well, so that centralized control will work against the interests of human beings who have a bit of humanity.
