Someone thinks "my whole family uses Facebook. If I stop, or worse, try to force them to migrate, I might make myself an outcast and close myself off from pictures of my growing relatives". what should we do? Say "Too bad for you. Take one for the team! Have the hard conversations, risk isolation from your family." We shouldn't demand such sacrifices from struggling strangers on pain of shame. We should, instead, help them to tranistion, suggest what they can do to fight in their own way.

Encouragement promotes solidarity, community, a sense of belonging, a sense of support. If we truly want community as we claim, we should promote it. Every time a company takes a stand, opts for principle over proffit, refuses to be unethical, stands up for its base, we should congratulate them, make them feel good about themselves, promote them, guide people to them, away from less ethical alternatives.
