Facebook is what free'd me of having to interact with my local DSA /hj
Local DSA posts everything on facebook, I don't have facebook and won't post my face onto there to make it happen.
I email them but they just tell me check the facebook
I try to join the discord but they want to see me at events first, which I can't find, because they are posted on the facebook and I can only scroll down 3 posts before I get asked to login.
I give them my number and my signal but they don't reach out.

Good thing for you, that's terrible OpSec.
Most of the public's awareness of technology is so naive as to basically stick their heads in the sand because they want the convenience and ease and are willing to overlook evil. So they don't care about supply chain evils, corruption that is embedded into the system, so they can scroll TikTok and watch netflix on their offtime, while using Klarma to pay the groceries. Real organization against organizers in which people aren't being data mined would require some technological awareness. The masses just don't have it.
They join political groups on Facebook then get data mined and classified into oblivion until a computer can process their views and give them a discounted ad-supported Netflix so they are less politically upset.
This is our world.
