You can simple recommend to use alternatives, like Jitsi. Although, I think you should do with common sense in mind. I'm slowly teaching my therapist to use alternatives (she has only used Google's Duo or WhatsApp for video-calls), like using Duo on the Web, then proceeding to teach her to know other tools, like Jitsi. This is not something I would do with my GP, for example. For lack of intimacy and also for common sense, after all I only see him once four to six months. Being an activist for free software does not mean that I will force or shout at people to use GNU / Linux or to join the cause, but every time I feel that I have the opportunity *and it makes sense*, I will try to give the hint. People need to understand why free software is better, and they will naturally choose if they fully understand. In fact, I've been seeing more and more people on my circles realizing and ditching stuff like YouTube for NewPipe merely by seeing how better is the app and how it works *for people*, not profit, and starting to experiment with things like Mastodon/Fediverse. _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list libreplanet-discuss@libreplanet.org https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
