Erik L. Midtsveen 🚩🏴<p>If you’re feeling anxious about the next Trump administration and the grip of Big Tech, take a moment to think about where you’re getting your information. If you’re reading this on my RSS feed or here on Mastodon, congratulations—you’re already part of a decentralized alternative that doesn’t rely on corporate giants.</p><p>You don’t need to depend on Big Tech to live a simple life. It’s possible to step back and live below your means, focusing on what truly matters instead of getting caught up in the endless cycle of consumption. Reflect on the repentance needed for all the tech you consume daily. Every time you log onto a corporate platform, remember that you’re feeding into a system that prioritizes profit over your well-being.</p><p>Living simply doesn’t mean giving up; it means reclaiming your independence. The Fediverse is waiting for you, offering a chance to connect with others who share your values without the interference of algorithms and ads. </p><p>So, if you're feeling overwhelmed by the state of things, remember: you have choices. You can break free from the digital chains of Big Tech and find community in spaces that respect your autonomy. Let’s prioritize genuine connections and take back our freedom from corporate control.</p><p><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Decentralization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Decentralization</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigTech</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/DigitalIndependence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalIndependence</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/DigitalSovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalSovereignty</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Sovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sovereignty</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Privacy</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Simplicity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Simplicity</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Mindfulness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mindfulness</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/MindfulConsumption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MindfulConsumption</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Community</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/DirectAction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DirectAction</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/DigitalRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalRights</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Freedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Freedom</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Solidarity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Solidarity</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/SelfManagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfManagement</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Buddhism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Buddhism</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Fedi22" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fedi22</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a></p>
