How to navigate friendship when technology choices create distance

My best friend and I used to be able to talk about everything, but since they got really into cryptocurrency and online communities that I find concerning, we've stopped having real conversations about technology and what it's doing to us. I miss being able to think through these big questions together, but I don't know how to bridge this gap without seeming like I'm judging their whole digital life.
