In a guest article co-written by Heidi Li Feldman and Tim Chambers, the case is made in favor of political organizing in the Fediverse, rather than through corporate social media.
Both authors bring up case studies in their experience in grassroots fundraising and advocacy for the Harris-Walz presidential campaign through Mastodon and Bluesky.
You may find Harris the lesser of two evils, and want a progressive candidate like I think the majority does, but Harris is certainly running a more progressive platform than any in the past few decades. Again a low bar, but it is a step in the direction I think, and what the majority wants to see. I think as government reps get younger we’ll naturally see things become more progressive/diverse. It’s just waiting out the old white guard.
