    Enshitification has done enough to get me off Reddit, I personally think very simple entry level tutorials on how to best personally disconnect from the surveillance apparatus, myself I am not computer savvy at all whatsoever so I have a long road ahead of me, too. I’m young but still old school, I like printing zines and putting them out into the world physically, maybe something easily printable telling people

    1. What the problem is

    2. How to solve it themselves

    3. How to help others become aware subsequently help them.

    Of course, online messaging will work too, just needs to be very very wide spread.

      i agree with awareness helping and i agree with the value of letting enshitification frustrate people out of big tech, but the state of technology right now is such that sometimes these solutions are impractical to make so easy for non-tech inclined people to effortlessly do.

        Straight up making these programs easier for tech illiterate people like me is probably the only solution. I am already very interested in this stuff but the learning curve is so huge I never bothered. When I was like 13 I got all into computer science then immediately was shoved out by my lack of intelligence in the subject and how confusing it is. I shouldn’t have to be tech inclined to play video games on a computer. Actually that is one of the reasons I stopped playing games for 10+ years and eventually just bought a console that’s 200% easier than any computer

          the big thing stopping that is the deliberate effort the companies put into making the process as painful as possible.

          we do try to make it as easy as we can despite how a vocal minority of toxic users act, but i don’t really see a way around their roadblocks. they make all of the hardware after all and they dictate how some of this stuff works.
