Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Ya but what's the alternative? You only have a few large players in any space Google operates in and guaranteed they're no better in terms of wages and worker rights.
Amen to degoogling! I think the broad enshittification driven by big tech and their monopolistic behavior actively invites their own demise, just as they disrupted those that came before. I'm definitely an optimist, hopefully not naive. Also we should take things into our own hands. Don't like it? Build it better!
To add to your list: Peertube: federated platform that could compete with YouTube if it wasn't for network effects. Keepass & SyncThing: password manager + file synchronization to keep passwords across all your devices
So you're preaching to the choir here. I daily drive Linux, Firefox, libreoffice, and keepass already.
With the line of work I'm in I don't think I could steer from iPhone or android. It would be too much of a pain in the ass. Are duo and LastPass even available without either? They're sure not on f-droid. And that's just one example.
