Does everybody else here experience "being the asshole in the room" among your friends and family for trying to switch people to newer open tech (like #ActivityPub and #matrix) because they're all just accepting of the limitations of the old ways, even though it wouldn't be that hard and make things much better long-term? Lock-in is a bitch.

@wjmaggos> Does everybody else here experience "being the asshole in the room" among your friends and family for trying to switch people to newer open techAbsolutely.
