Learn about the Tech Reclaimers movement in this 19-minute conference talk that explores strategies for helping individuals and communities break free from Big Tech ecosystems. Discover how to guide people away from major platforms controlled by multi-billion dollar companies and venture capital-backed unicorns toward reclaiming their data, autonomy, and digital sovereignty. Explore the founders' community-centered approach that emphasizes peer-to-peer support, ethical alternatives, and building stronger connections rather than simply practicing digital minimalism. Understand practical methods for meeting people where they are in their tech journey, building their confidence step by step, and fostering supportive communities during the transition from extractive digital ecosystems to more sovereign technological solutions.
