The first, and also the most futuristic techno-utopian one, is the colonisation of Mars. Elon Musk founded Space X in 2002 (Peter Thiel was the first outside investor) with the idea of re-founding humanity. It’s all there: the call to save humanity by turning it into a multi-planetary species, the desire to start from scratch without the legal constraints of Earth, and the will to break with the established order. As you can read, half-hidden, on the terms and conditions page of the Starlink service owned by Space X:

The parties recognize Mars as a free planet and that no Earth-based government has authority or sovereignty over Martian activities.

    The biggest answer to all this is to unite:

    Uniting in getting people onto better alternatives for platforms/apps/websites:

    Linux Mint, Pop!_OS, Fedora Workstation

    iodeOS, & BraxOS

    Bluesky, & Mastodon

    Voyager for Lemmy

    PeerTube

    Flashes

    Spark

    Revolt Matrix via Element app FUTO Apps

    Fossify Apps

    Proton Apps OpenVPN CCTV Cameras sold that actually value privacy Linux on TV’s/Phones (PostmarketOS)/Cars/tablets too Etc etc etc etc etc.

    Supporting any and all real projects that uplift humanity. Open-Source Community-Made Software and Hardware, Unionized-Cooperatives, Credit Unions, etc etc etc. Always building towards better and never anything less than that

    And much more:

    Uniting in getting other people onto best practices to be better off online and in-person

    Uniting in getting them on much better news sources

    Uniting in getting them to take action, & collaborate together consistently in large and small groups with different groups focused on different issues. Everyone is flip flopping between problems too much. We need focused groups on each problem

    Uniting locally, statewide, nationally, & internationally. We are all stronger together. We must all treat each other as true allies, & actually build out in every way we can. Having a couple focused groups per issue will help so much

    (Also please add some line breaks to your paragraphs)

    P.S. Is there any way I can collaborate with you?
