Collectively adopting alternative tools to Big Tech
It was a thing of beauty.
Like-minded, wholesome and frankly fun folks gathered at Casa da Achada, in the maze-like streets of Lisbon’s old town, to collectively share strategies for leaving Big Tech behind when the time comes to build community and organise online.
We discussed RSS (in portuguese) as a battle-tested technology for broadcast communications, such as events happening in your town. We created new Mastodon accounts so we can keep each other in the loop in the Fediverse. We even toyed with the idea of a Linux install party for the next instalment! We spoke about owning your own domain and your own data.
I laid out some of the ideas in a post, in preparation of the talk, and the final result of this reflection can be perused in the presentation I gave (pptx, pdf, in Portuguese).
The whole point of these technologies is to bring people together, liberating them, ie without giving our data to the ultra-rich, becoming captive to the Algorithms. So here’s a list of the folks who were at the event that use these more liberating technologies (let’s follow and boost each other’s ideas):
What are the next steps, you ask? Marta aka Teclista brought the news that in Spain a mass movement got together to organize a day of collective awareness raising and adoption of Mastodon. And now we are conspiring to deploy the same positive movement across Portugal. Leave a comment here or join the conversation in the fediverse to be part of this collective action!

Instead of changing protocol, why not apply the #IndieWeb philosophy and standards to build a better Web on the http? 🤔

Another batch of Mastodon instances where the tech is strong and the terminals run deep. Adding a few more instances to the curated list of active Fediverse IT/tech/dev communities I bumped into recently:
🔹 bumscode. (https://bumscode.com/about) — invite-only hub for tech pros, coders, hackers & open-source folks who like smaller circles and sharper signal.
🔹 front-end.social (https://front-end.social/about) — human-first web makers championing accessibility, UX, and a more inclusive Open Web
🔹 drupal.community (https://drupal.community/about) — home of the :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3} tribe: modules, themes, hooks, and `.twig` wizardry 💙
🔹 vmst.io (https://vmst.io/about) — respectful technologists, geeks, and nerds of every stripe. Good vibes, smart threads, proper bit-energy ⚡
More niche hubs soon — Fediverse growth rate now exceeds my ability to bookmark responsibly 😄

The site at beitmenotyou.online now has full sharing and meta tags, making it easier for people to spread the word about what I am building.
A small step toward a more open, self-hosted space online.
