Seit Januar organisieren wir in vielen Orten Digital Independence Days. Jeder Space und jede Orga hat dabei eigene Konzepte ausprobiert, eigene Erfahrungen gemacht und Material entwickelt. Wir wollen uns in diesem Meetup zusammensetzen um unsere Erfahrungen auszutauschen und zu dokumentieren. Am Ende haben wir hoffentlich ein Dokument mit Best-Practices, Learnings, Ideen für DI.Days, Links zu Resourcen und mehr.

Wissens-, Fähigkeits- und Ressourcen Austausch für und mit trans, inter, non binäre, Ageschlechtliche Wesen.

Digital Independence Days are a response to the growing monopolization of technology and the recent loss of trust in US-based tech firms after the USA's shift towards authoritarianism. The (communicated) goal is to protect our current democracy and our current freedoms from deteriorating even further. Conserving the status quo and preventing a further loss of freedoms is likely not enough.

I want to highlight the larger transformative potential in this project. By applying anarchist practices to DI.Days, we can imagine a world of decentralized and democratized software, platforms and infrastructure. A world where individuals act as sovereign providers and users of technology. A world where the providers of technology do no have the ability to enact arbitrary power upon users. A world where consenting to the sharing of data is real and not a lie hidden by "Accept all cookies" or "Agree to the Terms and Conditions".

Moving from imagining such a future to prefiguring it, I want to look at anarchistic practices that might realize such a transformation and the role of DI.Days in it.
