Have you ever converted another “normie” to use a federated social media platform ? (lemmy.world)

When I say normie I mean someone who doesn’t care about self-hosting doesn’t really care that much about privacy and you wouldn’t consider deep tech hobbyist.

If you did , how did you do it ? Did they stay ?

Or if someone did convert you , how did they do it ?

My whole friend group stopped trusting Meta a few years ago, so I got everyone on Matrix-Synapse instead of WhatsApp.

I just set it up on my homeserver. Everyone just calls it “Element” and has no idea how it works, but the UI is familiar and easy to use.

Trying to work on Pixelfed, but most interesting photos just get shared on Matrix anyway.
