This is my way of life for a long time now. And I can’t comunicate well enough that this is how capital powers are kept in check by consumers. It is a necessity now more than ever that this should be the way for everyone.
The fediverse is being constructed in a way that we will only need to jump instances and domains and not segregate ourselves from the rest. I’m technically not on Lemmy anymore. When lemm.ee shut down I jumped to piefed. But I’m still around. This is the novelty (which is more of a reclaim of the old internet tbh) that is missing from the larger web.
I use several search engines, I have several emails etc etc To me this isn’t exhausting. It is liberaring. To not be tied down to a single suite or conglomerate.
As to how to convince others as you asked… I think all the approaches are necessary. Informing, advocating and promoting or even hazing and mocking as some will surely do. All of them will play their part in the broadening awareness and bringing people out of stagnation and complacency.
We need to show people a redundancy… that the way to move is to keep moving. That a quest for a fixed definitive ground is not only impossible but a mistake to begin with.
As to the correct approach, like I said, all the approaches will be necessary in my opinion. Even the ones I dislike will motivate people in their respective in-groups.
This a great question.
