This is a question I am wondering. I try to avoid as much as I can platforms like YouTube, Discord, Whatsapp, Zoom, etc. But I just can’t! For YouTube I love the content to much to quit it. I actually uses Invidio.us and NewPipe to avoid this problem. I just need to import my subscriptions.
Then you got the case of some social medias where it doesn’t depends on you. For example I need to use Whatsapp for school even if I hate it, same for Zoom.
I also got friends and communities that are only on Discord.
Do you already had these issues? How are you dealing with them?
Thanks in advance!
I feel you man! The problem a lot of people are facing is not the lack of alternative. There’s quite a lot of FOSS alternative to most close source services. The real challenge is making everybody around you adopt it. Even just try it. I use Signal alone. Nobody want to try it cause Fb messenger works. Same for Jitsi. My wife doesnt want to use Libre Office just because she is used to Ms Office. It’s a long battle and sometime it really feel hopeless. Sorry, dont want to be downer…
Welcome to the club of the alone users xD it’s quite the same for every of my alternative apps like Briar or Signal. You’re alone. But the fact that people starts to get bored about Zoom makes them more able to switch to Signal because it has much less constraints than Zoom on a lot of points. And it doesn’t requires to install anything so…
Jitsi is so simple that some people just don’t understand that they just need to click on a button and share a link.
