    Uhhhhh, Big Tech can and does also exist in Europe, Blaze. We need people switching to FOSS and non-profit software, but switching from American proprietary software to European proprietary software as a stopgap at least plausibly makes things somewhat better – owing to better regulations.

      Oh, indeed. Ideal would be FOSS, but if people can already stop using the US Big Tech that’s still something.

      Like people leaving Twitter for Bluesky

            Still, it’s run by a large American tech company and has a federation model that makes self-hosting and true decentralization somewhere between difficult and impossible.

        The alternative for Tw!ter is Mastodon. Bsky’s business model is based on growth, it will be sold for billions to the highest bidder once there are sufficient subscribers locked in.
