I'm thinking of my friends and family who aren't on an alternative social media that loves Linux and Star Trek memes. I've been recommending stuff (I'll put in the comments) they can do that I think is easy and helpful but curious to see what your thoughts/recommendations are!

Also from europe, millennial, the topic isn’t as present at the moment, but:

more people switched to Threema/signal
deleted Twitter
use of google: 1/3 left years ago 2/3 will never leave voluntarily.
about meta? Don’t now? Most of my friends and peers stopped long ago (millennials)
Tesla, not an urgent topic but this brand is ruined
holiday in the USA
and there are a lot of ships sailing the sea arrrr
alcohol, isn’t a topic, European alternatives were already popular.

Big problem for our country: Energy Medicinal equipment Drugs
