With the Fediverse, Linux, privacy-preserving browsers and alternative protocols, people are creating a cornucopia of alternatives to Big Tech for a variety of reasons, but it seems like we don’t have a collective term for technologies that gives users back their power and digital freedom, in opposition to Big Tech’s machinations.

So maybe it’s time we devise a catchy phrase for it. I thought of a couple, but they didn’t quite scratch the itch:

• Small Tech - just sounds like smaller versions of Big Tech
• DIY Tech - implies you have to create everything yourself and be technically skilled

So, instead, I turn to the people of the Fediverse. What are your ideas for a catchy phrase for anti-Big-Tech Tech?
