**Digital Sovereignty Collective**
A key part is that these efforts for digital autonomy shouldn't be undertaken by each organization in isolation. We use similar digital tools in similar ways, and face similar threats. That is the cause of our current vulnerability, but also a perfect starting point for collective action.
If *one* or a handful of organizations manages to defend themselves and their organizing capacity against fascist attacks and sabotage by fascism-aligned tech providers, we will likely all lose, still. To defend our society against fascism, and win our separate-yet-connected struggles, we need **all** anti-fascist orgs and movements to maintain and build their organizing capacity.
If you're part of an organization with values, goals and methods which oppose the values, methods and goals of fascism; read on. Digital Sovereignty Collective is an international network of a few dozen orgs like yours, digital hosting co-operatives/collectives, and tech workers' co-ops; collaborating, helping and sharing knowledge to liberate our own and eachothers' orgs from the clutches of fascism-vulnerable tech.
We believe free/libre/open source software operated by co-operatives is the most reliable, maintainable and future-proof way forwards. Reach out to me if you want to participate.

heads up #Europe, if you want #sovereignty, there is an #European #chat solution that is #decentralized, #OpenSource, free, multi-platform, multi-profile, #encrypted, it is called #DeltaChat
it is doesn't require phone numbers or any data for registration! painless setup, find it in your app store of choice
your messages and data live in your pockets and not in some 3rd party's "cloud" servers, you truly own it!
F*** Uber.
The only reason I want log into my Account (which I haven’t used in ages) is to delete it.
And then I get forced to do this ridiculous riddle to „Show that I am a real human”.
Is there any way to circumvent this obviously dark pattern which they’ll be using it to train some AI-slop-creating something?
it is a bit ironical to recommend #Signal, a centralized American service that runs on #Amazon, #Google and #Microsoft services and depends heavily on them spending millions each year just to pay to Amazon and then in an #European context recommend that as "digital independence"
Some people say it is a compromise, but the bar is way too low if you recommend Signal at the “digital independence day”. At this point It's about selling a feeling instead of actual accomplishment

Thanks to Microsoft, for supporting #digitalIndependence by making it so hard to create an #MSGitHub account that people just give up and go to e.g. @Codeberg instead!
A friend tried to create an account these days. They gave them the option of a visual or an audio #CAPTCHA. Both are not *one* CAPTCHA, but a series of *ten*.
If my friend insists on having an MS-GitHub account, they has to solve the CAPTCHA with #AI. Humans have no chance:
