@afewbugs The important thing, I feel, is to treat people with compassion. Something about online spaces, even mastodon, makes that hard to do.I think you're bang on with this thread; I am certain EVERYONE here knows that it'd be better not to fly, eat less or no meat, migrate all digital presences to independent self-hosted tech, switch to linux, etc.But for a variety of practical reasons we're not doing all of these in our personal lives, and it's not because we're not aware - it's because Life Is Hard and we're trying to do our best within the constraints of our lives.I am thrilled that vegetarian and vegan options are becoming more widely available; eventually they will be so common that it will be easier for me to make the ethical choice. I can't right now if I want my kids to eat, but eventually we'll get there.In the same manner, I will be happy to help anyone do something about their digital lives - bit by bit we'll get there. We've come SO far, we're so close now.
