We could see democratic tech as building on top of several important traditions: the commons & commoning as a thousands year old way of organising, the cooperative social and solidarity economy - with us since the 19th century - and the free/libre open source movement with us for several decades now. Can we combine these traditions in such way that we build up democratic tech, under our collective control? A countermovement against authoritarian tech, to #ResistTechMonopolies which can help us build collective autonomy and resilience.

    In the article I present two cases that I think are especially worthy of the term "democratic tech": The @SocialCoop cooperative Fediverse community. And the @decidim participatory democracy platform community. Please check and correct me if I made any mistakes.🙏
