So... here's the thing:
DON'T PLAN YOUR REVOLUTION ON THE KING'S BLACKBOARD.
The fact that organisers are depending on the availability of a platform run by any of the tech bros... well, it makes me think you aren't a terribly effective opposition.
@Remittancegirl I follow them here.....

@Remittancegirl I follow them here.....
@acm_redfox And here is a really great place to do that - because the tech bros can't shut the fediverse down.

@JoelBarr Brazil should as well (in addition to Twitter). Meta has been interfering with their election: https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/meta-employees-said-lulas-accounts-were-hindered-during-brazil-election-folha-2026-10-16/
@stellarsarah @JoelBarr @cstross @QueenOfTheCroneAge @Remittancegirl Brazil has arrested Facebook executive in the past (2016). They should do it again.

@Remittancegirl

Someone needs to wash your mouth out with soap -

@Remittancegirl This is less a factor for @indivisibleteam than it is for all the people using those platforms that organizers need to reach. This is a bit of a stupid move by Meta - it will cause an exodus as on Twitter.

@Remittancegirl yes, that was my point. maybe not entirely relying on the King's blackboard...

Someone needs to wash your mouth out with soapFirstly my mouth is my business. YOU got into my timeline. And how dare you tell a woman how to speak.
Secondly, you're wannabe shit disturbing fantasist with a very poor grasp of history.
Mao caused the death of approximately 20 million of his own people. He starved them, he worked them to death, he sacrificed them to industrial hellscapes, to poisoned earth, to treatable disease.
Now it will be my distinct pleasure to flush you from my timeline like the shitty poseur you are.

@ambiguous0 I don't think Meta gives a shit. They are incredibly shortsighted and greedy as evidenced by their overt support of Trump.

@Remittancegirl Yikes! I've been trying to get #PineTreeActivism to come over to the Fediverse (they are on Blue Sky atm).

@DoomsdaysCW Maybe if there is a silver lining to what Meta did, it will serve as a wake-up call to other organising groups.
Bluesky is no better. It has no independence.

@Remittancegirl Exactly.

@lawyersgunsnmoney @Remittancegirl
sadly I think the overwhelming likelihood is that it is indeed too late...
@DonChacale My experience is that most often people only wake up when they are directly affected. My comment is in reference to what’s in store for midterms and Jan 3. There are going to be “MAGA Observers” at every precinct in the US according to the regime. I just don’t think we will be prepared to respond to that, especially if the Regime backs that escalation up with armed paramilitary. @Remittancegirl

Right, cstross. I don't need you to explain social media to me.
And yep, it's a thing.

"Today, during the peak of our national day of action, the No Kings Coalition Instagram account was taken down and is no longer accessible.This is a clear attempt to silence the No Kings Coalition & prevent future communications.
Don't let them silence No Kings. Spread the word."
@QueenOfTheCroneAge @cstross @Remittancegirl
they consented to be silenced by using a meta platform. the idiots.

@QueenOfTheCroneAge @Remittancegirl IG is owned by Meta, aka Mark Zuckerberg/Facebook. They're ratfucking Lula's election campaign on behalf of Bolsonaro, so dabbling in politics on the side of the Fash is absolutely typical. Rancid goddamn nazi-snogging billionaires.
@cstross @QueenOfTheCroneAge @Remittancegirl
Charlie, I adore you.
-
@Remittancegirl Exactly. We need to continue to encourage ways to not participate.
@karmic_resonance @Remittancegirl
participating in the fedi verse is huge. We are unplugging from those billionaire fascist scumbags
-
@Remittancegirl People are completely captured by Meta (& TikTok & X). You’ll never convince them to leave. (Preaching to the choir, I know.)
dopamine addicted.
That's by design.
They've hacked our neurotransmitters. They've hacked our brains. It's a construct. It's a manipulation. People can unplug.
