I think most people are still not aware that there even are European alternatives to big tech. And for alternatives to thrive people have to be informed. I would definitely say it's okay to use big tech too convince their users to switch sides! As you said on platforms like lemmy you mostly reach people who are already aware of this...
Most people are not willing to switch from Meta to alternatives, period. Some people might concede and use other apps on the side, but definitely not as their main social and messenger apps.
