@everton137 I believe most Venezuelans I know are happy Maduro is out of power, though not necessarily optimistic. Their opinions on how it was done certainly vary.

From what they report, Venezuelan inside Venezuela don’t write on Mastodon because they are too busy going hungry.

@everton137 Eh, eh: nice question. And even if not: how to make the jump from cyberspace to the real world.

Zeynep Tufekci had a nice analysis on how the Arab spring never made that jump.

Forwards!

@everton137 I also have the impression that the Global South is not yet so much present on our decentralised network.

We need to build bridges, help onboarding, as with all change that we pursue. While the centralised world tries to strengthen their power before collapse, the only way forward is to expand the open, decentralised networks. Based in solidarity.
