The Revolution Will Be Federated
The Revolution Will Be Federated
Dr. Heidi Li Feldman and Tim Chambers make the case for the Fediverse and other decentralized social networks being crucial for enabling activism.
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.
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.
You may find Harris the lesser of two evils, and want a progressive candidate like I think the majority does, but Harris is certainly running a more progressive platform than any in the past few decades. Again a low bar, but it is a step in the direction I think, and what the majority wants to see. I think as government reps get younger we'll naturally see things become more progressive/diverse. It's just waiting out the old white guard.
