COUNTER CLOUD APPS

The listed apps are considered Counter Cloud because they are not going with the logics of hyperscaling, data extraction and everything-as-a-service of The Cloud. Some are "green" as described here: https://www.thegreenwebfoundation.org/. List adapted from Digital Solidarity Networks: "This is the start of a listing of resources regarding mutual aid strategies, propositions for future setups and social closeness through 'alternative' digital infrastructures. This pad contains examples of collective digital reparative practices, in a time where everything points to the further consolidation and accelerated normalization of the Big Tech industry (Zoom, Facebook, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Skype, etc.), a.k.a. GMAFIAZ. Other attitudes are possible! https://etherdump.vvvvvvaria.org/publish/digital-solidarity-networks.raw.html
