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
Looks like the data center problem is not far from WV either.

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