Every server deployment on Amazon's AWS, Google's GCP and MS Azure feeds the beast.
Not only do they reinforce pathways of centralisation in the topological sense, but they also invest in US supremacy geopolitically. That supremacy now openly includes a theocratic & racist, war-mongering & imperialist movement.
Every server you spin up at home or on a smaller DC, like every abandoned Google, Twitter or FB account, slows the beast down.
The 3D's:
Depopulate. Defund. Disempower.

Absolutely. Every step away from centralized tech ; like using Mastodon, rejecting Amazon, Netflix, PayPal, WhatsApp, and moving to Linux is resistance. it's a brutal monopoly that forces Microsoft and Google on us. But alternatives exist:
Linux distros like Tails, Qubes OS, or PureOS offer real privacy.
Browsers like Brave, Firefox, or LibreWolf replace Chrome.
You're not alone. Every small act; your choices ; slows the beast. Keep going.
Calling privacy “cowardice” isn't the flex they think it is it's just being an easy target. Funny how people preach “bravery”until their own data gets leaked. I’ll stick to my security.
