A significant part of the unpleasantness in your life right now is caused by using bad digital tools, ones that work hard to addict you, that don’t do what you want them to do, that you are stuck in because you don’t know a better way to do it and the stakes are too high to switch without somebody helping you out. Our hypothesis is that there are many people like this. Who want to switch to better, cleaner, more ethical digital tools, but aren’t sure which tools work best, you don’t have the time or the expertise to find them, and you need somebody who is competent to help you.

There are plenty of people who for a modest payment would love to help you with this. How to best get rid of those things that don’t work, get better ones, protect your data and work, and just make your digital life better. They’d need some training, and a structure by which they could find paying clients and there was oversight of their work but maybe most of all, they would learn lots.

We’d like to find people who want to deshittify their lives and those who want to help them.

We call this effort the deshittification CoOp or DSHT CoOp for short.

If you may be in one or the other of these groups, let us know and tell us the part of this that you’re most excited about.
