#stopbigtech — Public Fediverse posts

#AI / #LLM haven't generated an organic demand like personal computers. Instead it is being pushed by aggressive marketing from #BigTech

Sono a una festa nel bosco per famiglie. Il tema è “più Game e meno gameboy”, solo giochi in legno e divieto assoluto ai bimbi di usare dispositivi elettronici ❤️
Devo dire ottima iniziativa per gli under 13, applicare la filosofia zero screen dovrebbe essere la norma, i bimbi devono socializzare e non isolarsi sotto il controllo degli smartphone! #StopBigTech

Messaggio rilanciato nel gruppo @giochi

The @ec.europa.eu and Big Tech hides information about emissions and energy use as well as impacts on communities and natural habitats from the public. Legally questionable and morally wrong.

It's time to #resistAI

HUGE error by the @ec.europa.eu. Big tech must tell the public everything about energy, water and other used resources in their data centers.

They use our common resources and we must know how they use it to take informed decisions.

The best part of this @WIRED article about Google's Gemini Skills AI tool is definitely the explanation of how to remove the Ask Gemini button.

Who really wants all this AI in their browser? Chose AI free European alternatives like @Vivaldi

Hvordan kan Esbjerg kommune tillade et amerikansk firma som Prime Data Centers at opføre et hyper datacenter?

Har de ikke forståelse for digital uafhængighed, miljø og klima?

Kan de give en god forklaring på hvad centeret skal bruge sin komputerkraft på? Og om energiforbruget ikke kunne anvendes bedre andetsteds.

Auch der Fall #Ulmen wird die Leute vermutlich nicht davon abhalten, weiterhin US #BigTech zu unterstützen, die mit kriminellen Inhalten ihr Geld machen. Ist wohl wie beim Drogendealer.

Men hvorfor skal de reklamere for amerikansk big tech? Det giver ingen mening.

For anyone in the mood to read some geeky stuff about chat apps, here are some bits I've gathered. I'm not an expert, what do you think? 🤓🖖🏽

Boycott #WhatsApp, #META, USA, and Big Tech. Here are some European privacy-focused alternatives.

🏆️️️️️️ #DELTACHAT 🇩🇪
Super easy. Sign-up with nickname only. No ID or phone required. Uses anonymous email protocol. No servers. Messages destroyed once delivered FREE & 100% Open Source @delta

🎖️ #SESSION 🇨🇭
Focus on high anonymity. Decentralized network, easy to use.
Requires no phone, ID, or email. Messages travel inside a Loki Network tunnel (like Tor) hopping server-to-server, making tracking (in theory) impossible FREE & 100% Open Source
⚠️ Note: Currently lacks Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS), making it theoretically vulnerable to future quantum attacks if messages are stored. Developers are working on Protocol V2 to implement PFS and Post-Quantum Cryptography @session

..Se usi un bridge per parlare con qualcuno su (x esempio) WhatsApp, la sicurezza si abbassa al livello di WhatsApp. Esempio.. tu usi l'app ufficiale ELEMENT X di matrix e quindi usi la massima sicurezza di crittografia in assoluto ma colui-colei che riceve usa una servizzio mail oppure apre il suo messaggio su un app non ufficiale la sicurezza si abbassa a quella dell app del ricevente, tu non sai mai se l'altro aprira il messaggio in un'instanza sicura al tuo stesso livello oppure no. Compromesso: L'interfaccia,specialmente quella di Element classica, può essere confusa con troppe opzioni tecniche. "Element X" è una versione più moderna e semplificata, ma l'ecosistema Matrix richiede un minimo di curva di apprendimento e le informazioni che si trovano al riguardo hanno spiegazioni abbastanza techniche nello spiegare i vari passaggi

È tutto automatico. Gestione dei Messaggi: Il sistema moderno è pensato per la chat istantanea. I messaggi vengono consegnati e cancellati dal server subito dopo il download. Questo risolve il vecchio problema della "posta elettronica che resta sul server",
rendendo l'esperienza meno sicura e identica a Signal o Telegram, ma con la differenza fondamentale che usa lo standard aperto MIME. Sicurezza e Server: Poiché ora l'app gestisce la creazione dell'account in modo anonimo, non stai dando il tuo numero o la tua email personale a nessuno. Open Source al 100%, europea, tedesca, e ora offre una registrazione veramente anonima e semplice.

4. #THREEMA 🇨🇭💼

Il punto di forza: Affidabilità e Conformità Europea Threema è lo standard per chi vuole sicurezza senza troppi pensieri tecnici, molto usata da amministrazioni e medici in Germania e Svizzera.Come funziona: Usa un ID anonimo (una stringa di numeri e lettere)

I have used @bitwarden for years and have been really satisfied with the manager. But now I have chosen an #EuropeanAlternative from @protonprivacy. Proton Pass. Also a great manager.

And I would recommend people to pay for the Apps and programs they use. I think that is fair.€€€

Voor wie nog niet helemaal van het infuus van Amerikaanse techmiljonairs af is (myself included) of vrienden heeft in regio Amersfoort die wel willen overstappen van gmail/instagram/windows/etc, maar een duwtje in de rug nodig hebben. Zondag 1 februari is er bij deWAR in Amersfoort weer een 'switching party' waarin we gezamenlijk afstappen van Big Tech!

Big Tech isn’t the web. It’s an empire.

• Built on surveillance capitalism. Your data = their profit

• Algorithms engineered to manipulate, addict, polarize

• Walled gardens with lock-in, enshittification as business model

• Governed by US laws + politics (DMCA, Patriot Act, MAGA culture)

• Controlled by a handful of tech billionaires in a digital aristocracy

When you choose Big Tech, you choose profit over people, control over freedom, censorship over community.

Free, open, decentralized alternatives break that cycle:

- No ads, no tracking, no dark patterns
- Community-driven, transparent, auditable
- Not bound to one country’s laws or corporate agenda

Decentralization is digital self-determination.

Choose people over platforms. Choose freedom. 💪

#Decentralize #Fediverse #OpenSource #StopBigTech #Privacy #DigitalFreedom

The old web was decentralized:

- Newsgroups
- Personal Websites
- Bulletin board
- Email as a service, not a platform
- Internet relay chat (IRC)
- Early blogs

Then corporations arrived with money and lock-in, turning the internet into centralized ad farms (Meta, X, TikTok). Users became consumers, trapped in algorithms, tracking, and enshittification. Revenue more important than people.

The Fediverse is a way back: no ads, no algorithms, no dark patterns. People first. A web worth reclaiming. And open source is the engine of this transformation.

Take back the web. Decentralize again 💪 Bring people to the Fediverse, promote open source and build federated services.

@mailbox_org ist eine #DSGVO-konforme Alternative zu Google und Microsoft (Email, kollaborative Office-Anwendungen, Cloudspeicher, Videokonferenzen...) vom deutschen Anbieter Heinlein GmbH. Im Rahmen der Initiative #GoEuropean gibt es bis Ende Mai ordentlichen Rabatt für Neukunden (12 Monate zum Preis von 6). Ich bin seit Jahren dort Kunde
und sehr zufrieden. Die 30€, die ich dort für 12 Monate zahle, sind es mir definitiv wert. Schlagt zu - eindeutige Empfehlung von mir!

Big Tech prioritizes profit over democracy. Their algorithms amplify hate and polarization, undermine public debate, and can even manipulate elections. Using social media consciously-such as employing ad blockers and being aware of algorithmic influence-is an act of defending democracy. Open-source and decentralized platforms are essential for a free and open digital public sphere. 🛑📉🤖 #ProtectDemocracy #StopBigTech #OpenSource #Decentralization #SocialMedia #fckafd #unplugtrump

Big Tech geht über Leichen, um Profit zu machen – Demokratie ist ihnen egal. Ihre Algorithmen fördern Hass & Polarisierung, zerstören öffentliche Debatten und manipulieren Wahlen. Ein bewusster Umgang mit Social Media, z.B. Werbeblocker & Algorithmus-Awarenes, ist ein Akt der Demokratieverteidigung. Open-Source & dezentrale Plattformen sind der Schlüssel für eine freie digitale Öffentlichkeit! 🛑📉🤖 #DemokratieSchützen #StopBigTech #OpenSource #Dezentralisierung #SocialMedia #fckafd #unplugtrump
