@ente Ente gut, alles gut! 🦆
Just learned about this wonderful #selfhost #opensource app suite! 1) securely store and share photos, 2) same for important docs, and 3) 2fa authenticator. Super keen to try it out!

TIL!
GAFAM = Google Apple Facebook Amazon Microsoft.
CHATON = Collective of Hosters Alternative, Transparent, Open, Neutral and Solidarity
I am really really (really) loving CHATON as an alternative to GAFAM. And not just because of the adorable branding! (yes, I am a cat person 🐈️ )

Wow. This announcement takes my breath away.

Not sure this is all correct and I can't easily check myself because I don't have gmail anymore - digitally sovereign, ftw! If you still use gmail highly recommend you take a look at the tips in the 5 replies to this post - and share what you learn!

Big Tech thrives on division and on treating us as isolated individuals—so why do we still trust its platforms to hold our communities together?
Join the next #RABT online workshop, “Strengthening Online Communities,” on July 29th at 3pm UTC to brainstorm ways to build digital spaces that truly serve our movements rather than Big Tech’s business model.

People with means are seeing the vital importance of the free open source software movement and community-owned hosting infrastructure more and more. Thanks @schock for being an emissary for democratic tech.

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

@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 😉

Breaking free from Big Tech isn't just about swapping tools, but really a movement toward collective digital freedom 🌱.

@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

@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. -

Big Tech is a single point of failure: https://www.pcmag.com/news/oops-google-accidentally-deletes-maps-timeline-data-of-some-users
Lots of power to one human/corporation does not bring much nice things for the (majority) rest of us. Rise Against Big Tech #rabt #decentralisetech
