how would you recommend pitching it? I know all the sweet unix/linux things, and freedom and such, but how would you pitch it in a way that your parents would care about?
well most of the time - at least for me - they're just there for the rest of the family so if you can get the rest of the family on there and then maybe let them invite their friends, that's all they really need

It doesn't need to be all or nothing for them at first. If you share on it maybe they'll share some thing there too slowly.
you'll also need to remember to interact with the platform like you were with them in public, for a few reasons. Plus the Internet could stand to be less harsh
