Ok, let's pick the correct App for planning the rebellion.

Truth Social. That way, nobody will ever see the plans

And if anyone magically finds them, they'll dismiss it as a crazy conspiracy

Bluesky, Lemmy, Revolt, Ghost, Spark, & Flashes apps. Diaspora, Zen Browser, & Raindrop too

Those each cover a different aspect that will empower everyone. We need a US Community on Revolt too not just Lemmy

Never heard of it before.

What's the elevator pitch?

Alright here

  • Reddit➡️Lemmy
  • Twitter➡️Bluesky
  • Discord➡️Revolt

https://revolt.chat/

Its an even better thing than Discord.

(They have an alternativeto.net entry that explains a lot more about them too. Also, AlternativeTo is a great resource to find more open-source (But you have to check online if it's community-made or corporation owned) platforms/apps/websites/etc to switch to. Recommend using that too)

Positives:

  • Values Privacy, Community, Collaboration, Discussions, & Freedom
  • Open-Source
  • Community-Made
  • Allow you to have different profile pics per community you are in
  • Can use bots without needing Premium
  • There's more once you use it to experience it and read their site

I say we make a U.S. Server on there to inform each other, inspire each other, take action, collaborate, & coordinate

That would be a great way for all of us to really get things going in real life & online. Also, to have different sections of the server dedicated to various issues:

  • This whole mess with GOP fighting back on every level
  • Making Protests Fun, & Effective. Connecting Social Events to Them, & having Goals for Each Protest (Get to know others to work with, building out better infrastructure, gettings things done, etc)
  • Homelessness
  • Walkable/social/fun/bikeable/transit infrastructure for cities and towns
  • Building and Maintaining Community
  • Collaboration with Allies
  • Etc Etc

I would do it but don't know how to run a community, & server
