all at once on a single day is easier to organise and more impact will be shown - it's more concentrated. But yes, obviously long term everyone has to permanently come off the drugs apps permanently.

    Reddit is not actually in scope for the strike (more detail here https://www.rebeltechalliance.org/collectiveaction.html#attention-strike ) but i see what you mean.

    Sure, people in this community will be way beyond this. The idea is to share it with your friends and family who are not there yet. I'll tell Take Back Big Tech that the next strike would need to be much more significant. This one is supposed to get people used to the idea, and to try alternatives.

    a month would be a big ask for fully addicted mainstream types. this is a baby steps thing - people in this community will be way beyond this. The idea is to share it with your friends and family who are not there yet.

    Fair. Or just fill it in with full answers - even better!

    Either way we need to let them know that there is opposition to a ban. The questions are worded to herd you towards saying yes to age verification for all 🤬

    URGENT: UK Gov Social Media Consultation - protest vote with this text! (blog.rebeltechalliance.org)
     

    Please make a protest by filling in this anonymous survey (doesn't matter what country you're in) with the text below. Deadline tonight (26th).

    Paste the text (or even better, slight variations of it):

    REGULATE THE TECH COMPANIES, NOT THE PUBLIC. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT ISSUE, NOT A BAN

    into every text field. N.B. many questions have a "Other (please specify)" field - that is where you enter the free text.

    Reasons in the blog post.

    Please share!

    Crowd-sourcing the best parent tech tips: Rebel Tech Alliance (www.rebeltechalliance.org)
     

    hi everyone, We're on a mission to get as many people off Big Tech products as we can, and as many people away from the surveillance economy. And since that starts early we've made this page for parents to find the best tech tips to keep their children safe.

    [Note on social media: we do not support a ban for social media, we think the tech companies should fix their products instead. But since that will probably never happen, and the best option - never use social media - is probably not practical for many families, we've listed alternatives on this page.]

    We welcome any tips that parents here can share - stuff that's worked for you to keep your children safe from big tech. It doesn't have to be app alternatives - it can be habits / mindset stuff too. Or it could be stuff that's not worked / pitfalls.

    Please also let us know if anything currently on the page looks wrong or misleading.

    Be mindful that this is aimed at totally non-technical-minded parents.

    Thank you!

    The Big Tech Walkout 2026 (blog.rebeltechalliance.org)
     

    Here's a year-long programme to get yourself off Big Tech products, step-by-step.

    Many here will already have done this, but please share with your friends and family who are still yet to take that journey.

    Let's stop feeding the (data) beast! This movement requires huge numbers of people to do it, to be really effective, so all upvoting is appreciated 😀
