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.

    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 agree with you. Trump is obviously a bad person, AND I don’t trust Harris. Not much I can do about it atm, but something will happen to replace this system. It is only inevitable.
