A quotation from Terry Pratchett

Each man thought: one of the others is bound to say something soon, some protest and then I will murmur agreement, not actually say anything. I am not as stupid as that, but definitely murmur very firmly, so that the others will be in no doubt that I thoroughly disapprove, because at a time like this it behooves all decent men to nearly stand up and be almost heard ...
But no one said anything. The cowards, each man thought.


Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author

Stop using Big Tech to organize your protests! They're part of the authoritarian surveillance and oppression as well.

✊ Replace Meetup/Facebook Groups with Mobilizon:

📄 Replace Google Docs with CryptPad:

📍 Replace Google Map with Organic Maps:
https://organicmaps.app

🎞️ Replace YouTube with PeerTube:

📧 Replace Gmail and Google Calendar with Proton or Tuta:

🕸️ Create a simple html website with no tracking and no cookies, and post links to it everywhere, including paper posters and stickers.

We can organize without Big Tech. We have done it for centuries before! :blobcatyes:

On a more serious note, whoever is behind the idea of dressing up as #Pikachu during the protest made an amazing job, medias all around the #world shared pictures of them and were forced at the same time to talk about the Turkish protests.

Reminder: Do not cross the picket line!

do zaklasyfikowania Ostatniego Pokolenia jako grupy przestępczej nie jest wymagane, aby jej celem było głównie popełnianie przestępstw. Wystarczy, że jest ono jednym z możliwych wielu celów grupy. W przypadku Ostatniego Pokolenia było to nękanie uczestników ruchu drogowego, w szczególności poprzez przyklejanie się i uszkadzanie mienia.

Folks have mentioned that Twitter is an extremely important space for sharing #protest news across the world and as a result we should keep preserving it despite the takeover.

I get it, I am #Iranian, I have relied heavily on twitter for news sharing re protests in #Iran over the years.

But what you are missing is that those same activists and protesters are MOST vulnerable to the new Twitter regime. Misinformation campaigns will be easy, and #Putin/#China/Islamic republic will use it.



Give Up #GitHub: The Time Has Come!

Specifically, we at Software Freedom Conservancy have been actively communicating with #Microsoft and their GitHub subsidiary about our concerns with “Copilot” since they first launched it almost exactly a year ago. Our initial video chat call (in July 2021) with Microsoft and GitHub representatives resulted in several questions which they said they could not answer at that time, but would “answer soon”. After six months of no response, Bradley published his essay, If Software is My #Copilot, Who Programmed My Software? — which raised these questions publicly. Still, GitHub did not answer our #questions.
