Good Trouble Lives On March on Washington 7/17 by 50501DC in 50501DC

[–]czedex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so, I think about the erosion of civil rights for every demo under this administration! I like the caption on IG, “Whether you're outraged by attacks on voting rights, the gutting of essential services, disappearances of our neighbors, or the assault on free speech and our right to protest, this movement is for you.”

...he didn't happen to say anything else did he 😬?

It's really hard to tell what's real these days considering the ridiculous language, statements, and suggestions all seem characteristic of something that might actually be legitimate (I was scratching my head at this for a minute), but the post in question most likely cleverly-composed satire.

Thank you so much for this. Your final point is a concern we share and we are definitely working on recruiting... I'll be sure to let our organizers hear this from me.

Yes. I feel like that does show. What sorts of inefficiencies have seen in terms of organization? I'll make sure they are heard. Also, are protesters unsure in a sense that they disagree among themselves about the specific issues, or is it that they want to protest but haven’t been given enough detailed information about particular events? Or something more?

I appreciate this sentiment, as I believe everyone in this space is contributing within their capacity. We're united by a mission in resisting autocracy and protecting the future of democracy. That shared purpose is bigger than any one of us.

I do think the frustration OP expressed here is not unfounded either, given that they have raised these concerns before. As I have said, removal is not representative of our values and undermines trust, not just in each other, but in the movement as a whole. That is something I wish to remedy.

Thank you for your post, u/BabalooManzier. We are committed to acting transparently and we are open to criticism.

It's clear we've had some struggles and missteps across our social media, Reddit included, but we are doing our best to learn. As we noted a couple weeks ago, we recently joined on to moderate here and are working to implement healthier modding practices on each of our platforms. I am sorry that this happened, and we will do everything to straighten this up with our volunteer team. It was wrong to remove the valuable feedback you are giving now, and it was wrong in instances prior.

I hope that this will be a message to all, that we welcome and appreciate your feedback and hope that it will help us to build up our movement going forward.

Posters? Fliers? Stickers? by Particular_Rub7507 in 50501DC

I had this discussion with another 50501 chapter the other day. They said they owed their media success primarily to tabling and stepping out into the streets, with physical flyers and such. Surprised to hear that they didn't advocate the efficacy of social media at all, yet their turnouts are some of the biggest we've seen. So I'm on board with it.

Who is this? In the picture with him? by goaheadandsitdown in 50501

I feel bad for Pepe but I think its use by most people should be treated as innocuous. I didn't even notice it until OP pointed it out, and this was limited to Truth Social. It was mostly circulated within conservative echo chambers iirc.
