Nah, I'm definitely aware of how they manipulate, that's a big part of why I want to leave. Unfortunately, most of my friends/family don't care. I tell them, they don't care, usually because of ye olde "nothing to hide" argument. It's frustrating, because their apathy toward privacy and dystopian algorithms is directly impacting me, whether they think so or not.
It's why I try to use other platforms like the ones I mentioned to get them on board with alternative options. I'd only recommend Nostr to them if they're tech-savvy and show interest; otherwise, they'll go right back to the big tech slop they're comfortable with.

well, the privacy angle doesn't work with normies, but maybe "they are manipulating what you think by filtering your timeline" would reach them a bit better
but really, at some point you gotta say, if they want to live in an imaginary dystopia and not be in the real world you have to cut back on how much attention they get from you, because they aren't going to have a genuine conversation with you when their head is filled with bullshit
