Until we achieve a good ecosystem of interoperability between servies that allow for self-sovereign movement, we should be encouraging people to move off the big tech platforms and use smaller businesses that value things like open source, self hosting, and having control of your data. While most of us here on HN would prefer to self-host Immich ourselves, for my friends who are not that technically proficient, I recommend Ente to them - E2EE alternative to Google Photos with a way to easily get your data out (you can even sync it to a local copy routinely) and self-host if the price ever gets too high or you want to move providers. I'd like to see more companies and platforms follow that model.
