Alternatively, refuse proprietary software.

If the users don't control the software, the software controls the users.




I could if I was famous and successful, but until then it's really hard to get anywhere socially and professionally by refusing proprietary things.

I can't just tell all my friends to use Signal, it's just not going to happen and would result in me getting left out of 95% of social events.

I do keep a separate phone for proprietary apps, though.
