The Lockdown Systems Collective will be holding a hands-on workshop about Cyd, the open source app that helps you claw back your data from big tech companies. This workshop will walk you through the following: installing Cyd, saving your data from X and/or Facebook, deleting what you want from those platforms, and migrating your data to Bluesky/Mastodon. If there’s interest, this workshop will also cover getting started with Cyd development environment, discussion about how Cyd’s black magic works, and discussion about the worker-owned Lockdown Systems Collective.
