I'm not going to say it's not a me-problem, but disregarding the fact that if it was that simple it would be more widespread amongst people is making it seem as if we don't try seriously and downplays the effort many like myself put in.
I care about privacy and about my close ones (as many here do) and I explain the issue to them in a nice way so to not come across as a pushy salesman, and they readily admit that they don't want to put the effort in (effort as in learning something new, upkeeping with multiple apps, etc).
It's not that I don't know why they don't switch immidiately - I know why. It's simply that they don't. It's okay not to switch as long as you know the risks and I've explained the risks and they seem to understand it, but it's not enough to get everyone to switch.
If life was that simple with everyone (I know some switch without hesitation) the world would be completely different.
You can explain to a decent normal person the imminent doom we are facing with climate change and they may understand it very well, but they still wont give up on using their car and switch to public transport immidiately, because it is an inconvenience.
Huhhuh, pakko antaa propsit toimittajille tuollaisesta salapoliisityöstä ja siitä, että uskalsivat mennä kuvaamaan tilojen ympäristöä, kun siellä oli porukkaa.
Voin kuvitella jännityksen kun piti lähteä juoksemaan etteivät paljastu.
I know how you feel! I myself was a lurker on reddit and I've instance-/software-hopped on fediverse few times until I found my favourite instance+software.
It takes more time and effort, but I'm definitely happier here than on reddit. Fediverse has it's difficulties but it feels more "organic", atleast until now.
I highly recommend a smaller stable instance. You are less likely to end up between defederation wars.
Initially it will suck because you wont find communities and your feed will look empty since you need to have atleast one account from your instance subscribing to a community to federate it to your instance, but once you find communities and subscribe you'll have the widest access to content since federation is on by default and instances explicitly choose who they defederate (or they use lists of known bad-instances, but small ones are often not on these).
But that's just my opinion, look into options a bit!
Yup. Since fedia.io was federating with ani.social for awhile you've got a "local copy" of ani.social's communities on fedia.io from back when it federated.
So when you post on those communities it's all happening only on fedia.io and you see posts/comments on that community from other fedia.io users. But, for example, I can't see what fedia.io local copy of anime@ani.social looks like from my instance, because my "local copy" is still federating with the actual instance anime community is hosted on (i see new posts and my posts/comments get sent first to ani.social's original community and federates to rest of instances from there).
I do feel like (atleast in my groups) the whole acting goofy and having fun rather than playing it seriously came with age. When I was younger it was more about looking up rules every single time, but as an adult there is just not enough time to do that and enjoy a good evening of fun.
It's an awesome movie, I had a good laugh throughout the movie. They captured the fun of playing DnD in a group and acting silly at times: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt2906216/
