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.

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.
