It's been difficult to broach the subject and explain the technical concepts to the average person. I did have some success in first sharing the email comparison, which lead into interoperability.

I'm just curious to hear people's success stories, if you have any.

Do you have anything specific, or do you just mean in general?

I would say mostly general, and it also depends on context and relevance

like I'd send FFXIV memes to my friends who play it but not to anyone else.

For things that people aren't familiar with but is useful to know (like PC hardware) I tend to share fedi-links as sources/citations after providing context

EX:

I'm a nerd
