Imagine a Digital Exodus

I am not giving up, and neither should you. They need us more than we need them. This is how we take back our power.

🔥 The Digital Exodus
We’re watching the foundations of democracy, climate justice, and truth itself be chipped away — and many people are asking, “What can we actually do?”

Here’s one concrete, overlooked step:
--> We migrate. We unplug. We reclaim our digital and economic power.
--> Big Tech companies - Meta, X, Google, Amazon, Apple - are no longer neutral platforms. They are actively profiting from surveillance, division, and in some cases, enabling political and climate collapse.

But they only have power because we give it to them. We influence policy with our attention and our money. And we can influence change by shifting who we give it to.

What to do in the next 30 days:
  • ✅ Cancel Amazon Prime and Google/YouTube subscriptions
  • ✅ Stop buying new Apple products
  • ✅ Move off Facebook, Instagram, and X
  • ✅ Migrate from Gmail if you can
  • ✅ Switch search engines (try DuckDuckGo)

How to PREPARE for the MOVE:
  • Exchange emails and phone numbers now while you’re still on FB/IG
  • Open a Bluesky account and start bringing your friends as a place to connect after the exodus
  • Reconnect on LinkedIn
  • Create or join a Discord server - it’s algorithm-free and ideal for real community
  • Open a Proton email account.
  • For more details on preparations: Peaceful Return.

By Earth day April 22nd - we migrate, and continue to invite others to join us.

We will stay off as long as it takes. 30 days, 60 days, 90 days....This isn’t about perfection. It’s about leverage. If I’m wrong, the worst that happens is a long-overdue digital detox. If I’m right, this is how we begin to disrupt the infrastructure of collapse.

Like the Last Alliance in Lord of the Rings — THIS moment matters. We still have time. But not much. Let’s move. Let’s take our power back! The power we gave away was over digital. So to get it back, we have leave it.

We don't need to part the river - we ARE the river!

Great article! Would like to suggest looking further than BlueSky into the Fediverse - especially Mastodon. BlueSky is still a 'for-profit' enterprise, and not decentralised.

Would love to connect with you as our missions are aligned!
