so i used pidgin plugins for skype or teams or slack for job.

usually if you use their web interface, they know less about you than if you used their proprietary app.

if you are using your floss app for their service, i think they know less, than they can know if you were using their web site.

so i noticed some facebook appsbon fdroid and set up for friends.

now other problem: facebook ioesn't allow apps for its chat, so chat has to be a proprietary app.

so again, not sure how you socialize.

then i would say actively advocate and bring those who think alike also to fediverse: to mastodon and activity pub.

and if you can to write them via jabber, not facebook, that's a win.

if you have a group of friends in jabber - even more win.

another hope is tmat they will use thread's and shilr be slaves but your mastodon instance willbfederate with them when they will open federation.

but you need to explain them that they still will be tracked in all ways when using proprietary threads application.

Minimal web layout alts for Big Web spaces — Im doing this post from my user feed as the topic I have in mind doesn't seem to correspond to any s/subspace that exists as of yet. It's too connected to tech to post in s/casual and not related enough to gemini to post in s/discuss. Maybe I should start a s/general space for general topics, of random nature? Lmk what you think. Ok, so as for my inquiry: does anyone else still feel tied to modern platforms as a result of family/friends/work/etc yet...
