“Mastodon for Harris” is a Success Story for Fediverse Activism - eviltoast

The Mastodon For Harris campaign has raised close to $500,000 within two weeks of being live. It is probably the largest attempt for political organizing on the Fediverse, and may provide a playbook for other efforts going forward.

    I think this is a very real observation, with not much that can be done.

    The best non-USA people can do is to participate and share/produce content which is not US-centric (ideally in their native language too). Unfortunately many communities, even non political ones, often still default to a US-centric perspective and culture, which makes it hard for people to participate.

    It’s hard to dance around it, more people are needed.
