What do we call anti-Big-Tech Tech collectively?
-
With the Fediverse, Linux, privacy-preserving browsers and alternative protocols, people are creating a cornucopia of alternatives to Big Tech for a variety of reasons, but it seems like we don't have a collective term for technologies that gives users back their power and digital freedom, in opposition to Big Tech's machinations.
So maybe it's time we devise a catchy phrase for it. I thought of a couple, but they didn't quite scratch the itch:
- Small Tech - just sounds like smaller versions of Big Tech
- DIY Tech - implies you have to create everything yourself and be technically skilled
So, instead, I turn to the people of the Fediverse. What are your ideas for a catchy phrase for anti-Big-Tech Tech?
