I suppose most people here appreciate art in some form. And, of course, artists need visibility for their work. Yet promoting one’s art can be a real challenge, especially for those who aren’t already well known.
Every day, I see artists sharing their #Instagram profiles to promote their events, showcase their work, and make themselves reachable.
Art, however, is also one of the most powerful forms of resistance against the far right. It’s troubling that we’ve confined so much of it to the same social media platforms used by the global far-right movement to spread hate and disinformation.
If the #Fediverse doesn’t evolve to become more attractive and supportive for artists, how can we expect to break free from the propaganda tools of techno-fascism?
