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.

https://data-workers.org/Fasica/

❗TRIGGER WARNING: explicit depictions of violence and abuse.

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

Here's my article about that: https://freeknowledge.eu/bigtech-transition-to-sovereignty

For those who also can no longer get behind #Musk and want to make the switch from #X to #Mastodon, I propose a national #switchover day. Including images to use freely in communicating to your contacts.

Voor wie ook niet langer achter Musk kan staan en de wissel van #X naar #Mastodon wil maken, stel ik een nationale #overstapdag voor. Inclusief beeld om vrij te gebruiken in de communicatie naar je contacten.

Vanaf vandaag moedigen publieke organisaties elkaar aan om alternatieven te gaan gebruiken voor Big Tech sociale media om zo de afhankelijkheid van Big Tech te doorbreken.

Vanwege de aanhoudende en toenemende beΓ―nvloeding van Big Tech en hun eigenaren op het online debat en de (Europese) politiek roepen we organisaties op:

#MakeSocialsSocialAgain en gebruik alternatieven.

Deel. Durf. Verander.

πŸ’¬ Meedoen? Sluit je aan, lees onze tips en bekijk de events: https://makesocialssocialagain.nl/
