    The reality is, is that we're going to be the only ones who care.

    Everyone didn't go from GMail to Proton or others. Everyone didn't go from Reddit to Lemmy. Everyone didn't go from Telegram to Signal. Everyone didn't go from Twitter to Mastodon (Bluesky I guess works?)

    This is going to be no different.

    I have felt like this for some years. Like I was fighting a tide and those around me called me crazy for my cautiousness.

    But more people are asking questions, more people are voicing they don’t like how things are turning. Not all are willing to take the leap …just yet but it’s a start.
