We are initiating this with a growing list of organisations, such as @commonsnetwork, @waag in Amsterdam, @platoniq and the Goteo.org crowdfunding platform in Spain. Recently also eCommons.space and the housing coop movement (PWA) in Amsterdam have joined. With them and Amsterdam University College @OpenTech_AUC (part of UvA and VU) we’re designing a transition community, building on experiences of so many movements going in this same direction, like the @rtm #ResistTechMonopolies in Seattle, or the #VamonosJuntas and #MakeSocialsSocialAgain or #DIDay networked actions.
On Mastodon, climate effects and poor reliability of AI/Tech are often mentioned. Their exploitative character far less so.
But it's important to know:
To keep users safe from harm, tech companies do harm to their data workers. Please read this report by Fasica Berhane Gebrekidan. Then reconsider planning your holiday or making fun pictures with AI.

With the Big Tech oligarchs taking more and more power, the time has come to reflect and mobilise more people into action.
