    This is very obvious on discussions/articles about privacy and ads. There is a lot of talk about Meta/Google/Apple/Microsoft invading the users privacy, forcing ads, or screwing users on various different ways.

    However, there are very rarely any mentions about alternatives:

    • Linux may do your job for your PC needs
    • DeGoogled Android (like LineageOS) may do your job for your smartphone needs
    • Lemmy/Mastodon can be used as alternative social media
    • Odysee/PeerTube may have the type of content one watches on YouTube

    If there is no push for alternatives, capitalist services and software will continue to be used as tools for capitalism or fascism.
