Hello. Wow this is a deep thread. I didn’t read all of it but I’m impressed by the enthusiasm and persistence in this thread.
Also man there aren’t too many places left on the internet you can actually have a discussion and talk back & forth and know that there’s actual person on the other end.
Anyways, to you, reading this, fellow Lemmy-goer, thanks for getting this far in my rambling
I was there at one in Los Angeles. Good vibes. I keep thinking that there is simply no good communication methods available for a movement like this. Our social media and even direct messaging is owned by billionaires. They will silently shut down any organized movement to make people stay home and feel hopeless as they doomscroll. It’s happened to me, but today renewed some home. The public needs to adopt fediverse apps, broadly and quickly. And the fediverse has to be ready for the public. It has to be easy to use, easy to explain, have name recognition, and have content to follow. With these protests, I want to convince people to move to fediverse apps but I feel like I don’t have a good elevator pitch. How do I get people who want to get involved, who might have been on Reddit, to jump over here to Lemmy? A business card?? Sticker? A sign? What would go on it, “Join the fediverse! Dump billionaire owned social media”? I’m rambling at this point I feel like but these are my thoughts
