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.

bro, this logic of thinking that only stupid people fall for propaganda is only useful to make you feel intelligent and reinforces the right-wing. There’s plenty of evidence this is not how it works. Get your shit together, and find another activity to feed your ego.

Probably the same people have been targeted over and over by the same videos. TikTok users likely watch dozens of videos per day and the views add up quickly.

Generative AI includes also image and video generation, which have a very different approach than LLMs

yeah, I conveyed a similar feedback to the author of the article. Thanks for the analysis

what’s wrong with the title?

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?

ok, scab

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

Because the infrastructure group is concerned with more critical work around self-hosting than video calls. If you want to sponsor a jitsi server and do the plumbing work of replacing all our technical and organizational dependencies on zoom with Jit.si, feel free to join and expand our self-hosted infrastructure.

we have our own self-hosted infrastructure for critical data. We use Zoom just to passively filter FOSS purists and hackerinos. (jk, not true, we do it because the infrastructure group prioritized other things, but it works anyway)

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.

I wrote about this topic too, if you’re interested: https://write.as/conjure-utopia/the-verbose-story-of-how-i-left-the-tech-industry-and-started-washing-miso-jars

I didn’t mention some other systems, but for bigger campaigns ActionNetwork is one of the most used tools and has a lot of integrations, for instance with N8N. I do run some systems with ActionNetwork, mostly for newsletters. The thing of using N8N as a glue layer is that you can integrate with more specialized tools if the need arises, maintaining your custom systems for more niche cases.

You’re focusing too much on the WordPress example. There are a dozen tools mentioned in the article that will clarify what’s possible.
