We're asking organisations and individuals if they would trust the owners of Big Tech platforms with community building in any other context.

Unsurprisingly, many wouldn't. So, why do they online?

Most don't know about the alternatives. That's why we work hard to advocate for the Social Web and introduce others to the possibility of owning their social platform.
