RaymondPierreL3<p>Here, Elena Rossini explains Why and How she is purging <a href="https://aus.social/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BigTech</span></a> out of her life. While she readily admits she is not totally free of it, she has gone a long way. She has a blog where she talks about her journey to <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Freedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Freedom</span></a> from <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Technofeudalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Technofeudalism</span></a> and calls out the hypocracy of some <a href="https://aus.social/tags/TechWriters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechWriters</span></a> along the way。</p><p>“I watched a brilliant TED Talk by journalist Carole Cadwalladr about the broligarchy titled “this is what the digital coup looks like.” Shortly thereafter I discovered that Cadwalladr is using Substack (the Nazi-friendly newsletter platform funded by the broligarchs at A16Z) for her blog; her social media platform of choice is Bluesky (funded by crypto bros at Blockchain Capital). Sadly Cadwalladr has no social profiles on the Fediverse and isn’t using - as far as I know - any FOSS platforms to publish her reporting. This feels incredibly incongruous.”</p><p>It’s well worth a read. And for those still ‘fenced in’ by commercial social platforms, she offers hope and some ways to ditch them.</p><p>Personally, My tie to <a href="https://aus.social/tags/TechBros" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechBros</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/oligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>oligarchy</span></a> is Gmail (though not for much longer as I am mostly migrated off). Otherwise, I’m on Signal and an Australian hosted mail server (until that one starts getting ideas I won’t agree with). My blog is about to transfer to a platform based in Australia for less $$ (of <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://aus.social/@shlee" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>shlee</span></a></span> fame - I’m gettting there Shlee!) and getting off WordPress hosting (I’ll be using a <a href="https://aus.social/tags/cpanel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cpanel</span></a> equiv <a href="https://aus.social/tags/EnhanceDotNet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnhanceDotNet</span></a>.).

I’ve never looked back from this, only forward.</p><p>I’m not going to lie, there is a cost to bear. I have lost digital links to all my friends and family (some overseas). But I’ve managed to keep those closest to me via other means (Face-to-face, phone calls, SMS, emails and Signal for those using it).
