Willingness to deal with that proudly technofascist sociopath at all;

... let alone on anything to do with identification of people using a platform, ought to be sufficient reason to tombstone accounts on all 3 of those. Leaving only breadcrumbs pointing to the ethical services they've been replaced with.

Time to head for the #FyreExyt folks ...

Peter Thiel, the libertarian billionaire waging war on government

'Tech Oligarchs' (3/6). With his aversion to progressives and his skepticism toward democracy, Peter Thiel was one of the first Silicon Valley giants to support Donald Trump.

I don't know if it will work on Discord, but I usually leave my accounts on DataFarms parked, with a Gone to Croatan note pointing to the fediverse, etc.

For context on "Gone to Croatan";

558 Gone to Croatan, by Hakim Bey • Immediatism

Gone to Croatan by Hakim Bey is found in the book T.A.Z.: The Temporary Autonomous Zone, Ontological Anarchy, Poetic Terrorism, from Autonomedia, which is also

Immediatism

But putting the political alignment difficulties aside, this was one of my goals with the Fyre Exyt/ Fire Exit project I dreamed up a few years ago.

To have a narrow group identity that was about maintaining a minimal presence within the DataFarms. Showing people some of the human-respecting software and services they can use instead, and how to get started. Ideally with automated migration tools.

Thanks for your work on this @cyberlyra.

Also to @jackiemak22 for the boost. This will be of interest to a bunch of folks wanting to promote fire exits from corporate DataFarms, including @mediarevolution, Rebel Tech Alliance (@patrickleavy), and @wedistribute. I was going to tag the Tech Reclaimers too, but I see they've already boosted this : )

#FyreExyt

Welcome to the fediverse Tech Reclaimers! Love the name : )

@andy @ali @janet

Seems like you have similar goals to @mediarevolution and @patrickleavy from Rebel Tech Alliance. You guys should chat about helping people build and find Fire Exits out of corporate DataFarms!

In the wake of the huge response to The Social Dilemma, I feel like the time has come to really push forward on Fyre Exyt, a project to create a detailed guide to escaping the datafarms.

I envisioned a page for each datafarm, to describe:

* what data users can export and how
* how to delete your account
* what liberating software / services could be the best replacement for various use cases of the datafarm

It's a big project. Anyone keen to help?

Congratulations @dansup , that's a really important feature for increasing #fediverse adoption. I wonder if #PeerTube has a feature for importing YT channels to PT servers? I'm certainly not aware of a Mastodon feature for importing from the birdsite (yet). #GDPR obliges the #DataFarms to make user data portable. I'd love to see every fediverse app working on a #FyreExyt for every user of datafarms with similar services.
