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

Welcome to Rise Against Big Tech

Our campaign is geared towards individuals and organizations that are ready to move to hosting providers more aligned to the values of collaboration, transparency, equity, community control and democracy.

@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 🌱.

Worth a read if you're thinking about how your organization can reclaim digital autonomy.

Rise Against Big Tech: A Movement For Collective Digital Freedom

Breaking Big Tech’s grip means more than new tools, it’s a cultural shift toward collective infrastructure, shared values, and digital autonomy says Dirk Slater.

This weekend some of our team members visited Prishtina to host a small #RABT booth during #SFK. We informed participants about the Rise Against Big Tech campaign and how they can get involved. Thank you @FLOSSK for facilitating us!

⏰ 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?
