I’ve been telling a lot of people about it, but everyone’s a skeptic. I’ve heard a lot of people saying that they’re just going to wait to see which Reddit clone comes out on top before switching. Most of them haven’t heard of the other parts of the fediverse like mastodon. I’d like to leave fb/instagram, but like many others, all my friends are on there. I’m not against defederation from meta to preserve the sanctity of what we have. (Although I know many of you might be for it as well.)
But in a perfect world, I wish that meta would fall apart and all of my friends would switch from instagram over to pixelfed and we would have a great, non corporate internet again.
I’ve successfully gotten a single coworker to join Lemmy. Most of the others barely even know what Reddit is. My family also very rarely uses social media other than YouTube, and there simply is not enough content on PeerTube for them to be convinced to switch.

I doubt my coworker could even grasp the concept
Heh, I had an older coworker ask everyone today if anyone’s joined Threads. Part of what got me thinking about all of this.
