the fact that companies collect and sell your data, while disturbing, isn't enough to inspire people to seek out a better alternative as the effects aren't explicit. a more compelling argument is the misaligned incentives of centralized, profit driven communication platforms

we got a glimpse of the merit of a non-profit social media site when fb, reddit etc were all built with heaps of VC money. now as these companies roll out their monetization strategies, we suffer. the misaligned incentives on these sites are breaking our brains and dividing us.
went on a rant. but tldr:
individuals are too busy to care that their data is being collected and that won't motivate them to switch to a new platform.
a better message is that existing sites are inherently harmful and decentralized versions can provide better service to users
