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.

Why not?

I'm already an advocate of the Fediverse and as I've been talking with folks personally, they're all asking what instance they should go on. So this is a way for me to directly onboard folks to the Fediverse, should they be interested.

It's a general instance that is backed by a nonprofit corporation that is working on it's 501(c)3. So any donations can be tax deductible in the future when it's complete.

I'm just attempting to foster the Fediverse is the big reason why.

I have some thoughts on potential monetization sharing. Have to ask my accountant. We're a moderated instance looking for fun and quality content. We're currently self hosting our own PT auto-follow index and hoping to get up a moderated search index soon as well.
