       I just read a post about dropping GmailYou know what they did that made me like it?They said "CONSIDER". As in: think about it.Not absolute "gmail bad, you stupid" that seems to follow me around lately.👍 for the qualifier and getting people to think w/o being an asshole.

       @kemonine even for those of us completely opposed it takes time to migrate off. Absolutism is impractical, we just have to make the attempt.

       @wilbr IndeedEven least-worst + awareness of the fact it's least worst is a big improvement over absolutism.Not everyone can afford (time, understanding, money) to be on the perceived best option.It's why we have >1 option normally.

       @kemonine There was the whole thing a while back about ditching FB/Insta/Twitter/G+, which was great if you didn't need a presence on any/all of those services for work/hobbies/family/friends.The hardcore evangelism behind it never appealed to me then, and it doesn't appeal to me now. I've massively cut back on those services for personal use, but still use them for various projects, because that's where I get most visibility.

       @kemonineI've replaced GDrive/GDocs with NextCloud/Libre Office, and Onenote with QOwnNotes, and Gmail has largely been replaced by mail through personal domains (although I'm looking at a possible Proton Mail account for personal backup) and I haven't looked back - while I prefer the Fediverse, most of the audience for my projects is on the big 3, so that's where I'm maintaining a minor presence.
