Gradually. You don't have to get all your friends off Meta right now. Maybe some of them will, and they might push their friends to ditch meta as well.

Just keep trying. But totally alienating your friends also won't do much good for the whole perception of the movement. Becomes a lot easier to just think of that weird guy who won't talk to us anymore because of some app, rather than what it's actually about.

I feel like I worded that really badly, but I hope my point comes across.

I definitely do though. Hey I'm planning a brunch here means corporations have a little more information about where you live, where you like to eat, who you have friends with, your friends weeknesses, social media can then try to inflict the group with different political opinions splitting up the friendship increasing depression and therefore the amount of time you spend on social media because it's your only escape from your depression. Just to list an example of what could happen.

Hey look, there's normie's here on lemmy now! Your post is the type of naive stuff that gets a ton of traction on reddit.

Its usually more like, "I've got nothing to hide, let them look!", or whatever, but I like your version too.
