Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Yup. And to use decentralised and open protocol social media too. Like the one we're on. And the Fediverse at large. Especially for organisational purposes and resistance initiatives like this one in the article. Learn to run their own instances and be bound to no company or algorithm that can bury them.
I'm using both Tor and the Web version of voyager right now. On a degoogled phone. And I'm in an European country where fascism has not even taken over. Yet.
Maybe a set of donation funds should be started to use for promoting the fediverse. Ad campaigns, billboards, flyers and so on. Decentralised collective efforts as well. Organised by communities in regions, not even nationwide efforts. It would be easier this way as a global endeavour too.
The problem that I find is most people don't even know the Fediverse exists. And these are the people who would be benefited the most to know of it right now. They really think they're gonna fight the oppressor with the tools of their oppressors?
Also I2P
Is there already a reliable spot to meet or is this just telling everyone else how to behave?
You're...on it... Just use Tor to access it if you don't want your house raided.
Ideally we need to move fediverse instances into Tor "hidden services" so that they can't be located and shut down, then we can make all the actionable threats we want all day long. Another option is Dread, a Tor Reddit clone but idk how they'd take to having a bunch of leftists descend on what is ultimately a pseudo drug marketplace platform.
Fair point. Sorry for writing that like an asshole. I was in a pissy mood and shouldn't have thrown that at you.
I'm sure they'd appreciate the added business honestly lol

I’m sure it required a massive amount of pressure.
You cannot effectively resist fascism on a fascist platform.
Freedom of speech is a joke in USA, and has been for decades, only the Americans think they have the worlds best freedom of speech, when in fact it is far from it.

Freedom of the press is a key indicator in that regard, and USA is in the category of problematic.
In USA you can lie, but you can't tell the truth.
I'll never forget when these traitors had their panties wadded so much about the Biden admin suggesting they remove articles about the stolen Hunter Biden laptop. Hey Republicans I'm keeping tabs and this is one expensive bill you are all going to have to pay.
they were a good band
