#DTF #DemocraticTechFund

With the membership growing by the day, we are preparing for launch, to collectively fund contra-infrastructure: tools, learning and mobilisation for communities that refuse to rent their digital lives from Big Tech.

We support powerful communications infrastructure in our cities and regions, in the hands of the community.

#DTF Let’s get Down To Fund

While we're testing the DTF crowd fund platform, let us share the news;

We’re really excited!

🌍 We just got back from Dweb Camp, hosted by the Internet Archive in the German forest — and what a gathering.

Alongside @commonsnetwork @goteo_fund and friends across the Fediverse, we presented the Democratic Tech Fund prototype and ran sessions on governance, P2P financing, and community-owned social spaces.

Governing & Sustaining Democratic Tech: From Autonomy to Collective Design
2026-07-10 16:30–18:00, Birch Salon

Roleplay codesign workshop with Olivier Schulbaum from Goteo.org @Sophie from CommonsNetwork.org Martijn de Waal @ HvA.nl

Public-interest technology does not survive through code alone. Digital commons require continuous coordination between communities, institutions, maintainers, contributors, and funders — structures capable not only of building tools, but of caring for them over time: setting priorities, distributing responsibilities, managing conflicts, and protecting the values embedded within the infrastructure itself. This session moves from strategic principles to institutional architecture, using role play and co-design to collectively work out what governance for democratic technology actually looks like in practice — and what it means for the Democratic Tech Fund right now.

Introducing the Democratic Tech Fund: Building Social Capacity for Digital Autonomy
2026-07-09 15:00–15:10, Birch Salon

A lightning talk situating the Democratic Tech Fund on four pillars: open source, decentralisation, cooperative social and solidarity economy, and commons. This talk will situate the audience in why the Democratic Tech Fund, what means “democratic”, “democratic tech”, “tech fund” and all together: what does DTF really stand for? How can this be a collective action network for the transition towards collective digital autonomy.

#dweb #dtf @DigitalCoup
https://talx.dod.ngo/dwebcamp-2026/talk/LD7UAE/

We'll be gathering at the @dweb camp in Alte Holle/Berlin from 8-12 July, together with people working on the crossroads of #opensource #decentralisation #cooperative #SSE Social and Solidarity Economy and #commoning

I'm really happy that we decided collectively to do this, when we were together at the @internetarchiveeurope in Amsterdam last February.

We'll be working together shaping the building up of the Democratic Tech Fund Below a list of the workshops and sessions we're part of (directly), while weaving connections with all people and communities working in solidarity towards a decent world, based on shared, democratic tech that works for our communities and not against us.

It is time for a democratic tech fund. The acronym seems to be really fun: #DTF, or: Down To Fund 😍

PD thanks to @3wordchant and @arod for the cute acronym 😉

@arod we know about #dtf and younger generations, some fall in that segment indeed ;-)

it may be confusing, or fun?! In fact this acronym has various meanings...

Hi @arod, thanks for the compliment! And I very much agree with you. We need to unite forces between grassroots commoners and cooperativists with institutional support, such as public and private funders.

That is precisely what we're working towards with the setting up of the Democratic Tech Fund. We think this logic - and our shared values - should be anchored in its foundations, before we can accept such funds to multiply our seed funding. We cannot "just" bootstrap it - there lies the challenge. Any help to connect the dots, also with the institutions willing to multiply our collective effort, is much appreciated. Let us say that we need to go beyond the neoliberal public-private partnerships: we need civic-public-private partnerships, on our terms.
#DTF #DemocraticTechFund

This is relevant if you consider making a contribution to the Democratic Tech Fund.

We recently opened up donation options for members at @opencollective :
https://opencollective.com/democratictechfund
#dtf DemocraticTech.Fund

To make it concrete: to move away from Microsoft (teams, sharepoint) and Google (drive), Nextcloud is a decent option, but you may also want decentralised group chat like matrix, maybe a better collaborative document server, à La Suite Docs, video conferencing like BBB or La Suite Visio. And of course a Single Sign On - one account to log on.

Altogether this is not something every individual person or collective may want to run for themselves, so you need a service provider, ideally a cooperative one, where you can be a member of and collectively maintain a production team and a process to evolve together - as technologies (and social needs) evolve.
In this sense the @coopcloud federation provides a backbone to work together on the development and maintenance of the tech stack as a "configuration commons". With the #dtf we became members, and it is exciting to see what is cooking there and how people/cooperatives collaborate along shared goals.

#CooperativeCommons #CooperativeCloud

I'm excited to see more people join the process to build up the Democratic Tech Fund. Many of us are fed up by the @DigitalCoup, and we know that there are so many communities already working on bits and pieces of the solution.

We need to do this #bottomup, based on solidarity and commons economics and organising. Let's weave the tech communities with the social movements and the social and solidarity economy. Together we can do this.
#opensource #freelibre #SSE #commoning #collectivefundind #dtf

Given the #DigitalCoup and the urgency to transition to #DigitalAutonomy, we’re building up the https://DemocraticTech.Fund. It is a networked approach, aiming to increase our collective capacity, to discover the tech that is already available to us, to deploy it in ways that we can own it, to share learnings of the transition, to move there together, so we can overcome network effects.

It is our intention to identify together the gaps of what is needed to make the transition, to fund that collectively. This can be tech, media to raise awareness for the positive alternatives already out there, and federating our communities. We’re starting as civil society, and we intent to invite institutions – public and private – to chip in and multiply the contributions. Together we can make the impact that is needed.

The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to DTF Printing

DTF printing is a digital transfer method where designs are printed onto a specialized PET film using water-based inks, coated with adhesive powder, and then heat-pressed onto fabrics.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, it's that stupid dating app. I keep getting hit on by people who just see me as some sort of sex object."

"What do you say in your profile?"

"I talk about my hobbies, and the fact that I'm drug and disease free."

"Can I see?"

"Have at it. [Passes the phone.]"

"Hmm.... yes... I see. You meant to indicate that you are drug and disease free, but look here. You did not write DDF."

"Shit! I wrote DTF! :headache: "

(For those not on the up and up with the lingo: DTF = down to fuck.)
