How did vietnam anti-war movement and civil rights movement operate so successfully? without cell phones, no web and no social media...
Effective clear Leadership and National coordinated organization and good communications between national and local groups.
@tchambers The poison already existed before #Musk bought Twitter and supercharged it.
Which was exactly the plan: take something that could potentially be used for good and flood it with sewage.
@tchambers yesterday I saw someone on Bluesky commenting about how 10 years ago Twitter had been the place to go for the truth about the protests in Ferguson. Compare that to the protests in LA now and there's no truth to be found on Twitter.
Anyways thank gods the open social web is around at this moment.
@McNeely Amen. And we are doing this very thing at @renewedresistance on Masto and here where it is bridged on the Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/renewedresistance.channel.org
