Our team is new to the #DigitalSovereignty space and we are focusing primarily on #SocialMedia alternatives available in the Fediverse. But there are many groups who have been working on this initiative for months before the #MastoCanadaGOV tag was even thought of. So we will highlight those groups and promote their activities whenever possible.
MadeInCanada.social provides an excellent web page that highlights social media alternatives that are made in Canada.

"To what extent is social media research independent from industry influence? Leveraging openly available data, we show that half of the research published in top journals has disclosable ties to industry in the form of prior funding, collaboration, or employment. However, the majority of these ties go undisclosed in the published research. These trends do not arise from broad scientific engagement with industry, but rather from a select group of scientists who maintain long-lasting relationships with industry. Undisclosed ties to industry are common not just among authors, but among reviewers and academic editors during manuscript evaluation. Further, industry-tied research garners more attention within the academy, among policymakers, on social media, and in the news. Finally, we find evidence that industry ties are associated with a topical focus away from impacts of platform-scale features. Together, these findings suggest industry influence in social media research is extensive, impactful, and often opaque. Going forward there is a need to strengthen disclosure norms and implement policies to ensure the visibility of independent research, and the integrity of industry supported research."

What, in social media language, are those accounts for which posts are only a poised picture of a good looking person often with a pet by their side, in uniform, or in a boat or expensive car? They often have a flag in their background header. They typically include a bio like "Veteran" or "Secure in myself. Love dogs."
