Good day all. I now have a nonprofit called BT Free for Big Tech Free. It is a digital privacy rights, advocacy and consulting nonprofit. We're currently working on our 501(c)3.

Our first platform is Peertube, set up at TubeFree.org. We have registrations open, but no upload. If you'd like to upload, we're looking for quality content on our moderated instance. We can also attempt to help folks get their own set up if folks would prefer to do that. The goal is to start actively building out system to help people move from Big Tech.

This is still a major work in progress, but I'd love to hear folks thoughts on any creators that might be receptive to copying their content to Peertube or any platforms people would be interested in having to move your content to.

I'm investigating some kind of revenue sharing or something with creators. I also want to pass on funds to developers actively working on the Fediverse.

And I have a thought to take donations, but also maybe do like some and charge monthly amounts for more resources. Or do funding drives. Other things. If anyone has suggestions I'd love to hear them.

I might even run our own BT Free community here on Pieces.social if folks would be interested in following that.

When I say quality I'm not talking about like Hollywood. I'm more trying to talk about good, fun, no misinformation, NP hate speech etc. Right now I've funded this nonprofit myself. And I have so much I can put into it. I'm just trying to give folks choice as well. I talk with a lot of people and while I've been able to recommend platforms people kind of turn off if I don't ha e a direct way to help them. And lots of folks don't want to trust some random dude, but are more open when they hear it's a real business.

As for charging for storage, I don't know if we'll do that. Right now my goal is to get people involved. Hopefully donations, or sponsorships or grants can help with that. It was one avenue of thought.
