As civil society organizations become increasingly dependent on digital tools, the question of who controls that technology becomes a matter of democratic importance.
|
||||
|
||||
The Civil Society Technology Foundation develops and disseminates open-source, self-hosted technologies that enable genuine digital sovereignty. We provide the tools, knowledge, and community support necessary for civil society to operate independently of surveillance-based platforms and extractive business models.

Perfect — let’s build a simple battle plan (Gramsci-style) for what CivilSociety.dev — or any similar project — could follow to challenge hegemony and build real digital autonomy.
|
||||
|
||||
Here’s the flow:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
Battle Plan: Winning the War of Position for Digital Civil Society
|
||||
|
||||
Phase 1: Build Independent Infrastructure
|
||||
|
||||
Launch sovereign services (email, cloud, chat, web hosting) that working-class organizations can use without Big Tech.
|
||||
|
||||
Focus on ease of use and collective ownership (community clouds, co-ops, unions).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Key goal: Create real-world alternatives that people can rely on.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
Phase 2: Popular Education
|
||||
|
||||
Teach not just how to use tech, but why digital sovereignty matters.
|
||||
|
||||
Build guides, workshops, videos, and political storytelling that connect tech freedom to everyday life struggles (housing, labor, climate, democracy).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Key goal: Grow thousands of organic intellectuals inside civil society.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
Phase 3: Culture Shift
|
||||
|
||||
Create a new "common sense" about tech:
|
||||
|
||||
"We can run our own systems."
|
||||
|
||||
"Freedom is practical, not utopian."
|
||||
|
||||
"Big Tech dependence is a political trap."
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Use memes, stories, community campaigns to popularize.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Key goal: Make sovereignty feel normal, not fringe.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
Phase 4: Strategic Alliances
|
||||
|
||||
Partner with unions, mutual aid groups, cooperatives, indigenous communities to embed sovereign tech into broader struggles for dignity and justice.
|
||||
|
||||
Wild Cloud becomes the digital backbone of working-class and social movements.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Key goal: Tie tech sovereignty directly to the survival and power of civil society.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
Final Objective:
|
||||
|
||||
> Civil society owns its own communication, storage, learning, and organizing tools — breaking the 1%'s hegemony over the digital world.
|
||||

||||

Would you like me to also turn this into a quick visual diagram (like a simple flowchart or map) so it’s super easy to share or present?
|
||||
It could look really clean if you're planning to post, pitch, or organize around it!

Good — let’s rate how CivilSociety.dev is doing on the Gramscian battle plan we just built.
|
||||
|
||||
I’ll go phase by phase, with a simple scale:

Phase 1: Build Independent Infrastructure
|
||||
|
||||
> Rating: Excellent
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Wild Cloud is real, working infrastructure.
|
||||
|
||||
They're offering services like email, cloud storage, chat, hosting, and more — away from Big Tech.
|
||||
|
||||
Clear focus on self-hosting and community control.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Comment:
|
||||
They've nailed the first step — they’re not just talking, they’re building.

Phase 2: Popular Education
|
||||
|
||||
> Rating: Good
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The Learning section is strong: it explains not just the technical but also the political reasons for sovereignty.
|
||||
|
||||
It’s accessible but could be pushed further into mass popular education — for example, shorter videos, memes, hands-on toolkits, or alliances with schools/unions.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Comment:
|
||||
Good foundation — needs scaling up to reach beyond tech-savvy audiences.

Phase 3: Culture Shift
|
||||
|
||||
> Rating: Needs Growth
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
They challenge Big Tech’s common sense implicitly through projects and writing.
|
||||
|
||||
But they're not (yet) visibly changing broader public attitudes or launching mass storytelling campaigns.
|
||||
|
||||
No evidence yet of heavy cultural production (memes, viral media, mass campaigns, popular slogans).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Comment:
|
||||
This is their big opportunity: to widen the cultural battle and make digital sovereignty part of everyday imagination.

Phase 4: Strategic Alliances
|
||||
|
||||
> Rating: Needs Growth
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
So far, the focus seems internal: building tools, education, and philosophy.
|
||||
|
||||
No clear, public partnerships yet with unions, housing co-ops, indigenous groups, or grassroots movements that desperately need digital independence.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Comment:
|
||||
Strategic alliances with civil society movements would supercharge their impact — this is a crucial next step.

Overall:

|

> CivilSociety.dev is very strong at building and explaining alternatives — now it needs to scale up cultural influence and strategic partnerships to fully realize a Gramscian digital movement.
