If you're in Ōtautahi-Christchurch, NZ, and are keen to make some noise about the climate crisis on Friday, note that the young team of #SchoolStrikeforClimate have a protest march planned. They're starting at the Bridge of Remembrance at 1 PM.

My daughter is one of the organisers and she's worried that the turnout will be low this year as recently Meta locked them out of their Instagram account (they don't know why but expect it's because they expressed support for Palestinians). They started another Instagram account but don't have many followers.

(I've tried to convince them of the general excellence of Mastodon, but without any success, so far.)

Anyway, if you're a local, a boost would be appreciated, as would support from all ages on Friday. Thanks!

A poster advertising the School Strike for Climate march in Ōtautahi-Christchurch this Friday. On the poster there's a picture of a tree and a fern and an election ballot box, and it says "Are you voting for our futures this local election?". The school students organising the march have been pasting these posters up around the town.

Mastodon is a Titter-a-like, and like Titter, is for old people (which is why we're here). But you might have a chance of convincing them to use something like a PixelFed service, or Loops.

You have an even better chance if you show them that they can create their *own* PixelFed or Loops service. Explaining that anyone with a browser can see what they post, as well as fedizens.

@strypey That is an *excellent* suggestion. I hadn't considered that. Yes, the Fediverse is much larger than Mastodon and there's got to be another service that would appeal more to the young Instagram crowd. I'll try that.
