If you abstain from meat, vegan options are seemingly everywhere now and everyone can sit at the same table.
If you choose abstain from addictive profit motivated proprietary software, good luck keeping any connection with friends and family. You just stop existing in their universes, and they can't be bothered to try a different communication tool to respect your preference to not have your data exploited to manipulate and addict you.
