When couples disagree on using big tech platforms for activism

My partner and I both care deeply about climate action but we disagree about using big tech platforms for organizing - they think we're being hypocritical by using Facebook and Instagram to promote sustainability while I think we need to meet people where they are and the purity doesn't help anyone. We keep having the same circular argument and I don't know how to move forward when we both want the same outcome but can't agree on the means.
