Thank you for the warm welcome, it's very much appreciated. We plan on adding a "Partners and Allies" list on our website so your links and references are helpful. We are not shy about stealing good ideas from friends to achieve our objectives, but we will give credit of course. I also encourage theft of our ideas, if we have any and you find them useful.

Yes, let’s start stealing good ideas from each other. Indeed, we would be happy about every step we will go together to withstand digital #colonialism.
First, we would like to point to a campaign started by #MikeKuketz, who published in his @kuketzblog a series of hints for digital sovereignity named #UnplugTrump
👉 https://www.kuketz-blog.de/unplugtrump-mach-dich-digital-unabhaengig-von-trump-und-big-tech/
It has recently been extended to become #UnplugBigTech
The campaign of our action alliance was directed towards #universities

Last year we extended it to encompass #cities and municipalities, which we asked to become active in the #Fediverse, too. And about 30 of them are posting on Mastodon regularly

Since the beginning of 2026 we have also the #DIDay campaign running in Germany, which stands for digital #independence day and which is organised by various NGOs

All of the campaigns mentioned would be happy to see them spreading to other countries than #Germany.
