FabRiders offers tailored migration planning and strategies to help social movements and organisations shift away from Big Tech platforms toward values-aligned alternatives that prioritise collaboration, transparency, equity, security and community control.
Why Migrate from Big Tech?
Big Tech poses risks like climate impact, surveillance, militarisation, and threats to democracy, making a switch essential for mission-driven groups committed to social justice. FabRiders draws on nearly 30 years of participatory, network-centric expertise to guide seamless transitions that build collective power without disrupting operations. Our approach ensures technology serves communities, not corporations, fostering sustainability and resilience.
Our Migration Services
- Co-created Planning Workshops: Collaborative sessions to map your current tech stack, identify risks, and co-design a theory of change for migration, emphasising shared ownership and inclusion.
- Strategy Development: Iterative roadmaps with feedback loops, covering hosting providers, tools, and alternatives aligned with Rise Against Big Tech values like equity and democracy.
- Capacity Building Labs: Hands-on training equipping teams with skills for self-managed migrations and peer network strengthening.
Proven Approach
FabRiders integrates real-time feedback and adapts to diverse contexts, ensuring migrations are culturally sensitive and empower long-term collective action. We prioritise social learning to transfer knowledge, helping to resist repression while building just alternatives. Our past work demonstrates sustainable impact through flexible, stakeholder-led processes.
