New forms of colonisation are emerging through digitised oppression, with tech companies entering into lucrative collaborations with oppressive nation-states while benefiting from the circulation of online activism and transnational solidarity. This conversation brings together a network of networks that have been collectively organising for technopolitical change for many years. Through artistic research, techno-disobedience and other means, the constellation resists the financial, extractive mode of Big Tech. During this conversation, participants will share each other's modest proposals with the audience, from Counter Cloud Actions to Digital Discomfort to trans\*feminist servers. Their proposals radically emphasise vernacular, situated, specific technodiversity and work simultaneously at different scales against infrastructural violence. The conversation will be about how we can together break the dependence on the toxic Cloud regime, the anti-colonial potential of these projects but also about uncomfortable and contradictory techno-practices. **Participants**
