@pluralistic I was just reading your recent article

and when you got to the bit at the end about how to stop them using surveillance pricing by not leaking so much personal data...
... for a second I thought you were going to recommend RTA's #BigTechWalkout2025 programme!

Regulation isn't happening so unfortunately it's on us citizens to take evasive action!
Use #ethicaltech instead of #bigtech 😁
⚡️ Your Heart is an Anti-Fragile System. 🧠 1 of 2: We love talking about #SovereignCoherence, but how do you actually install it?
You start with the Integrity Protocol—it’s the foundational rule for your personal Light Triad. Basically, it’s the anti-extraction stance for your own life.
The big rule is: Treat people as ends, not tools. Don't use your own time, energy, or even your sadness to manipulate a situation. You're better than that!
* The Math: Remember 1 - 0 = 1. You are one, whole system all by yourself. Your strength doesn't rely on anyone else being around (the zero).
When your personal system runs on integrity, it becomes anti-fragile. This is how you set the stage for 1 + 1 = 11 (Sovereign Multiplication). More on that in the next post. 👇
⚡️ 2 of 2: Building the Open Web with Care
The Integrity Protocol isn't just for dating; it's how we build tech, too!
At #FediCollective, we code for freedom and belonging, not just harvesting data.
We’re literally building the Light Triad into the network—valuing presence and softness over the chaotic race of performance.
Every user is an end, not a tool. That’s the kind of conscious civilization we’re after.

The funniest part of introducing myself at events is watching people’s faces when I explain what I do, specially if they’re not in tech. 😅
I keep it simple:
“I design systems that elevate collective consciousness — healing architecture that transforms force into power, burnout into resilience, and disconnection into trust.”
I shared this at a workshop on Friday. Most folks gave 60‑second monologues.
Mine was short, sweet, and human. I just said:
“Hey, it’s me. Let’s chat if you’re into healing via tech.” 🌱
The result? I walked away with values‑aligned connections who were relieved not to sit through another long pitch.
Being the last presenter — lucky number 13 — I slowed down, smiled, and let presence do the work. 🍀
Sometimes less really is more. A clear sentence, a smile, and genuine energy can open more doors than a rehearsed script.
👉 How do you introduce yourself when you want to be memorable?
Watched an interview with TAFKAP—The Artist Formerly Known as Prince—where a reporter asked him, “words & lyrics: do you mean be intentional?”
He replied, “In general, is what I mean,” and clarified, “you’re here to encourage or discourage.” That line stays with me.
For me, #ethicaltech & #design works the same way: every #choice either encourages or discourages.
I bring people together through care, kindness, and connection, weaving spaces where intention matters.
Less about code, more about how we hold each other in community.
If Prince could remind us that words shape worlds, then tech & design can too. Let’s choose to encourage. Let’s build with heart.
👉 Join me in shaping tech that listens, connects, and cares.

🔥 “Creative Technologist.” Sounds cool, but what does it mean?
I’m not a coder. My strengths are communication, community building, and organizing events that bring people together.
For me, it means using tech as a creative tool to connect people. I try to design spaces where care, empathy, and community come first.
Think of it like this:
✨ A chef who invents new kitchen tools
✨ A musician who builds the instruments they play
✨ Tech as rhythm and presence—creating space for people to gather
Tech isn’t just platforms or protocols. It’s about people. When we center care and empathy, we move from networking to real connection.
💬 That’s what I mean when I say I’m a Creative Technologist.
How do you explain your role outside your field?
We did it! 🎉 Tuta Mail won the Deutscher #FairnessPreis 2025 🥳❤️
In this nationwide survey, people were asked whether their email service:
✅ Listens to its users
✅ Offers good value for money
✅ Is reliable and trustworthy
This award shows that being ethical and fair can be a huge success and makes a great alternative. 🌱
Thank you! ❤️

"Coffee should be black as hell, strong as death, and sweet as love."
Turkish proverb
I believe in sensual tech where connection feels like consent.
Like curiosity. Like warmth. Like being seen.
Have you felt this too? The difference between being visible and being truly seen.
Backstory: went to Purdy’s Chocolate and found out they no longer carry Turkish Delight.
Heartbroken. That’s my fave!. :(
Turkish Delight reminds me of sensual systems:
Structure that holds softness.
Softness that invites surprise.
Surprise that lingers, sweet and slow.
Tech can feel like that too when it’s built with care.
I found an ethical alternative to Google Analytics.
I think its actually quite better.
Especially for static sites like mine.
Umami is, lightweight, open-source, and respects privacy (no cookies, no GDPR banners).
And the Hobby edition is free.

For weeks I have been telling reporters that #Trump could have the power to switch off our tech in #Europe. It felt a bit alarmist until I just read that #Microsoft, on the behest of the #US gov, has suspended the email account of Karim Khan, the #ICC chief prosecutor.
One of the most important international courts and a legal bulwark against #genocide, crimes against humanity, and #warcrimes is threatened by #BigTech dependency.
