For me, the real work is organising and awareness‑raising: helping people see what they give up by staying on Big Tech, why it’s a power and democracy issue, and that the only way alternatives get better is through long‑term, collective commitment to using and shaping them.
The Rise Against Big Tech #RABT coalition gives me hope – it treats this as a movement‑building project, not a shopping list of apps. https://riseagainstbig.tech

Looks like the data center problem is not far from WV either.

@jonben @joshbuddy @papiris every bit helps, promoting initiatives and/or narratives on Mastodon is also very important. #RABT has a focus on values alligned people and orgs that already want to migrate, but don't know where to start with the migration. That is why we decided to co-organise workshops and try to avoid talking about the process more than specific tools. There are other initiatives that are spending time and energy on awareness. Every bit of effort helps 😉

⏰ Still time to register for the workshop tomorrow!
We've all talked about leaving #BigTech. We know why it's necessary. But where do we actually start? What are the steps a small/medium team needs to follow?

@Kabbaway @fedihost it is not an easy puzzle and it is a direct outcome of #vendorlockin practices and freemium business models. We have blogged about this https://cloud68.co/blog/we-need-to-talk-about-vendor-lock-in. If there are budget limitations @yunohost is a good way to have your online presence It is free as in free ice cream, but in capitalistic terms you pay with your time to set it up. Good news is that you end up learning and exploring + you become part of the self hosting community. #RABT

A dark pattern (also known as a "deceptive design pattern") is a user interface that has been carefully crafted to trick users into doing things, such as buying overpriced insurance with their purchase or signing up for recurring bills. Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_pattern

@jwildeboer indeed moving data to EU based entities might sound like a good move, but Eurocentrism is not the solution. Folks need to understand that this is not a silver bullet and it is a a bit more complicated than that. The solution(s) needs a wider discussion of all parties that are Values Alligned. The only thing that is sure is that we need to Rise Against Big Tech (#rabt) together.
Disclaimer: we are a EU based entity. -

@civictech thanks for for sharing these opportunities. Apologies if we are being 'that guy', but would be great if you could avoid tech infrastructure like g docs fro. big tech corporations that have a long list of malpractices in place. #rabt. Lots of respect for your work though.

@Daojoan recently wrote a blog post about this https://cloud68.co/blog/we-need-to-talk-about-vendor-lock-in. Our proposal as a solution? Rise Against Big Tech #RABT

@anotherfami @recordrebel @phu that does not sound like a problem, but a solution to keep control over your data and community. Big tech platforms change their policies all the time and you don't have much saying when this happens. When you don't pay for it you are the product. We are obviously biased, but there are lots of other nice managed hosting small entities out there. You also don't feed the 'beast'. It is like buying from small local shops instead of a super market #RABT
-
@recordrebel as long as it is open source you are good to go. This way you avoid vendor lock in for your community https://cloud68.co/blog/we-need-to-talk-about-vendor-lock-in. You also Rise Against Big Tech easily #RABT

@VoordeMus sorry to hear that! Now it is the best time to Rise Against Big Tech #RABT

@sureshtrumpet not only #spotify, but all these tech corporations out there. They do the same over and over again. Rise Against Big Tech folks! #rabt
