Uhhhhh, Big Tech can and does also exist in Europe, Blaze. We need people switching to FOSS and non-profit software, but switching from American proprietary software to European proprietary software as a stopgap at least plausibly makes things somewhat better – owing to better regulations.

Oh, indeed. Ideal would be FOSS, but if people can already stop using the US Big Tech that's still something.

Like people leaving Twitter for Bluesky
