#GlobalSwitchDay 🦸

I just left the #Whatsapp group I shared with my neighbors, overcoming the #FOMO and - after a previous #announcement 2 weeks ago with a lot of background information - left a final goodbye with a strong #nudge to get informed on the rationale of my 'silly utile' behavior. BUT as us #fedizens know..

💰 one dime + 💰 one dime = 💎 2 cent!

The text is in the alternative text, should it be inspirational for your own rallying cry today.

Highly recommend: Add a ref. to @aral talk!

Screenshot of a Signal message starting with an image showing the Signal log and the slogan "Text me on Signal". Followed is the text: Dear neighbors, as announced I will leave this useful chat group despite the FOMO, the 'fear of missing out'. Today is #GlobalSwitchDay, the first of hopefully many more awareness campaigns to come. I leave you saddened, but also relieved to be able to live more according the principles I advocate in my line of work on humane harmonious technologies - the opposite of 'digital transformation hype' - that focuses on serving people's daily needs to the benefit of the whole of society. Leaving Big Tech molochs and their crazed billionaire owners is crucial in order to escape dystopic futures. Hope to see more of you on Signal. I will leave you with this great talk of Aral Balkan, a long-time co-fighter for digital human rights, given in Creative Ville 2019 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=k2Go4uPdysU

Thank you! It takes some grit. In the example above I received zero understanding by neighbors, and some rather sarcastic reactions. But that is what I am used to getting as long time humane tech advocate, unfortunately. People like you, with a word of support, and together part of a bright emerging fedi (a most beautiful subset of fediverse in my definition) makes it all worthwile. And knowing our 2 cts may help inspire others to dare cross that FOMO chasm.
