Start with “stop using their software.” If they have no data to sell, their company is worthless, but the people you claim care so much won’t stop. I have heard so many excuses as to why people “need” social media its maddening, and yet somehow I manage to survive without sites like facebook, etc. I am only on lemmy as an anonymous contributor, and if I feel like things are headed towards where they are with other social media I will drop it like a hot potato. Delete your accounts, and stop giving them data.
Reducing the supply increases the value. Create data, just make it worthless. You’ll be doing your part. If enough people piss in the pool, it will eventually reach a concentration that nobody wants to touch.
No one with money cares, and no one who wants to be the guy with money cares either
It’s us. The ones without the money, that care. And we CAN make a change but we don’t know how.
Not yet.

The problem of course is that the vast mass of consumers won’t do this, it’s only us weirdos
