An antifascist IT collective that doesn't focus on ops but just helps local grassroots groups set up boring old web services and provides ongoing technical support
Boring? Yeah. But if you wanna get activist groups out of the big tech surveillance bubble you need nerds willing to set up and maintain: DNS, email services, web hosting, secure comms, VPN, Mastodon instances, and document services. That's out of reach for many many groups doing the work of social justice. For much of the grassroots, throwing up a fb page and getting a Google account is honestly the only viable solution - they do not have the time or the resources to do anything else.
@thekitmalone the potential is huge! Everyone needs this work done, if u wanna live outside big tech - it’s not difficult, but it’s necessary and often invisible work. It’s a good example of “we have all the tools for a utopian solarpunk future - but we gotta do the work”.
