Vic Socialists inviting me to connect with the local community members by joining a fucking whatsapp group, that's a huge "fuck no".

Most every implementor of #SelfHosting and #DataSovereignty for community groups, is leftie or at least sympathetic.

And the pressing need to be independent from billionaire-owned and right-wing-supporting megaplatforms, should have obvious salience to any leftie organising group.

Yet when we suggest it's worth their effort to own their communication platform, to own their document store, to own their organising platform? They dissemble and whine and resist like the worst stereotype of boomers who want nothing to change.

#FreeSoftware nerds are here for you, leftie groups. We're even cheaper to hire!

@mike Yeah I was talking to other VS people about this. Apparently it was a huge struggle just to get people off FB Messenger 😵‍💫

Judging by my own region's WhatsApp group and from what I've heard about the others, I don't think you're missing anything important, anyway

@mike sure, but do you really hate socialists that much?
