@douwe absolutely, but in the US many communities and networks are also working on this transition. Just one example are the fine folks of #ResistTechMonopolies @rtm in Seattle. They are a group of former bigtech workers organising knowledge sharing, #DiscoTech to discover the ethical tech alternatives and participating in the @coopcloud federation. They are in the process to set up a multistakeholder cooperative, combining these three traditions. And of course our friends at @mayfirst who need no introduction here.

Of course the wealth extraction is "just" one thing, there are also the pain inflicted by algorithmic bias and discrimination, alignment of bigtech with authoritarian politics, neocolonialism, sustaining patriarchy and destruction of our planet and ecosystems, or the weaponisation of tech against populations in many places. And I didn't even mention #privacy and surveillance. @douwe @rtm @coopcloud @mayfirst @DigitalCoup
