With that sort of set up surely what you can do is present a strong 
argument not just ethically but also financially and technically for 
using free software, cite some good examples of where it has proven to 
be effective.  Ideally that people can related to.

The internet runs on free software (well mostly) for example.

Libreoffice documentation is coming along nicely, which helps, do not 
assume people can simply pick up some software and just use it without 
help.  In some cases are even just able to search and find the right 
information.

I think the idea of platform coops is something I suggested on social 
hub as a way to expend the fediverse, as in more people running their 
own server or have small groups doing so. They like the idea we, as with 
free software we need some sort of critical mass using it.
