In a guest article co-written by Heidi Li Feldman and Tim Chambers, the case is made in favor of political organizing in the Fediverse, rather than through corporate social media.
Both authors bring up case studies in their experience in grassroots fundraising and advocacy for the Harris-Walz presidential campaign through Mastodon and Bluesky.
Umm … Bluesky is “corporate social media”, even if they try to act nice registering as a “benefit corporation”. Still should not be considered part of the fediverse.
you can’t even consider it a true federated network like activitypub
As a country well-versed in revolutions, China can tell you it all ends up as warlords vying for hegemonic dictatorship regardless of the original intent.
A lot of great points, all contradicted by the fact that this is a pro-Harris piece. Sure, she’s the lesser of two evils, but evil nonetheless. I certainly wouldn’t call her progressive. She’s just another pro-genocide corporate tool.
Oh, please. The USA operates upon being a corporate tool. You’re holding the US environment to an unfairly high standard. We have no revolution yet, so just make the best of what we have.
I’m holding it to the bare minimum standards of a reasonable society. Just because we’re used to how shitty things are doesn’t mean we shouldn’t at least plug our noses against the smell.
I’m sure that line of thinking will go over great when you stay home during Election Day and Trump magically gets elected.
How very presumptuous of you. You’re wrong, of course. If I was apathetic enough to ignore my civic duty, I wouldn’t have commented to begin with; I’d’ve just downvoted and moved on.
Just because I protest the hypocrisy of the Democratic party and their candidate doesn’t mean I prefer the unfiltered evil of the Republican party and theirs.
