You don’t need to trench fiber cables to make a difference—start where you are. Our initial suggestions weren’t about becoming an ISP; they were about reclaiming autonomy in small, actionable ways that scale.

Spin up a Lemmy instance or join one aligned with your values. Learn to self-host something simple, like a blog or email server, and understand the basics of decentralized tools like Matrix. These aren’t just tech experiments—they’re stepping stones toward creating resilient communities outside corporate chokeholds.

If you’re not tech-savvy, contribute by organizing, spreading awareness, or supporting those who build. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s participation. Every small act chips away at the dependency on systems designed to fail us.
