A lot of these spaces are reading, writing and designing around so-called "anti-capture" protocols exactly to avoid that.

I'm one of the few volunteer contributors to Bonfire, and I would never dream of recommending Mozilla to use it. You have to reach out to people where they are at, not pick the tools based on prime principles. American platforms are blackmailing us by gatekeeping access to audiences, but it's not like you can pretend most humans are reachable on microscopic federated platforms. Which btw is not the intended use case for bonfire.

because it is relevant in different communities, no?

what's wrong with the title?

[–] chobeat@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago (5 children)

I don't understand your downvotes. If they are from scabs, or they are from people who only read the title and thought this is some managerial shit.

because I joined a long time ago?

You use an insecure but accessible option? You have a chance at organizing successfully but you risk union busting.

You use a secure but inaccessible option that people don't already use? You have no chance at organizing.

We have plenty of text-based community platforms, depending on the country you're in. It's all stuff that will be presented at the call.

We are throughout USA and Europe. I can give you personal advice as someone who emigrated, and you might want to ask the question in the community chats of different chapters, but TWC is for collective action, not for individual career support

we don't take dues and we are not an union in a legal sense. Requirements: time, energy, and motivation to learn and contribute. You're going to get trained on things once you join.
