This is an open question on how to get the masses to care…

Unfortunately, if other people don’t protect their privacy it affects those who do, because we’re all connected (e.g. other family members, friends). So it presents a problem of how do you get people who don’t care, to care?

I started the Rebel Tech Alliance nonprofit to try to help with this, but we’re still really struggling to convert people who have never thought about this.

(BTW you might need to refresh our website a few times to get it to load - no idea why… It does have an SSL cert!)

So I hope we can have a useful discussion here - privacy is a team sport, how do we get more people to play?

    noted, and you’re right.

    I actually mis-applied that term in my post. I’ve been trying to learn about tech, and self hosting in particular, along this journey. I found that ‘normies’ is the term that tech-savvy people apply to people who don’t know about tech - i.e. me! - and I started using it. In the sense of “these install instructions will never work with normies”.

    In this context I shouldn’t have used it to refer to people who do not care about data privacy. I’ll edit my post.

    Thank you for pointing that out!
