🌱 Bridging Towards a Healthy Internet 🌉

Social media controlled by Big Tech's #1 goal = to profit off of its users through

1. advertising and
2. collecting (stealing) everything we do online

I've been honest about Big Tech's influences and how we can build a healthier digital ecosystem. It starts with carving new pathways! That's why the roots of change agency is now set up on the decentralized internet! We invite you to join us on independent & secure platforms that support your well-being, not the Big Tech Bro's pocketbook.
