The insistence on replicating analog tactics in digital trenches reeks of generational malpractice. MAGA’s meme-to-mobilization pipelines operate at machine speed because they weaponize platforms as force multipliers—not bulletin boards.

Decentralization without sovereignty is performance art. Hosting a Matrix server on AWS is just outsourcing your gallows to Amazon. FOSS stacks mean nothing if they’re dangling from Big Tech’s root certificates.

The left’s allergy to infrastructure is suicide. Signal won’t save you when carrier-level packet inspection flags encrypted traffic. Mesh networks require physical nodes—not Discord LARPers. Build air-gapped repos, deploy sneakernet dead drops, or admit you’re roleplaying cyberpunk while authoritarians rewrite the OS.

/c/esist might not have the same ring to it.....

I find it weird when people suggest Discord or Microblogging as an alternative.

It's such a different format, and it fits a different purpose. I'm on Discord and Mastodon, but I wouldn't try and recreate a subreddit/lemmy community on either of those places

Update: someone added a very detailed comment, kudos to that person!

Organizing the resistance on Reddit is akin to pinning the Anti-Hitler League's bulletin on the Gestapo's corkboard.

I really hope some people realize the nature of the place they're on. It's probably not healthy to let corporate admins or algorithms/bots manipulate you, why you're trying to organize resistance against big tech itself, amongst other things.

And it comes to no surprise to me. The last very obvious event was in 2023, when Reddit showed how they treat users and moderators. And the subs had to submit to the new rules. Or when they kept protesting, their place got messed with by the admins, and the moderators got replaced by people who where more in line with the administration. Now tell me, how isn't that eerily similar to how the USA gets hollowed out by Musk and his henchmen? Why on earth would people gather on Reddit (of all places) to protest this? Their own communication platform is doing exactly what they're opposed to. And it's very clear at least since one and a half years ago.

I'd say they're about to get defeated if they don't act now. They've had their wake up calls, and slept through them. And it's like noon by now. At some point you don't need to bother calling yourself resistance and just sleep until the proper showdown. But it's not their fault. This is a big salami swindle. Slice after slice of freedom gets taken away and the bad thing is, you don't even notice the singular slices. At some point the salami is just gone, unless you really paid attention. And at that point, there isn't anything to recover. So it's the job of the resistance to be ahead of their game and become active in time.

(They got played. And their landlord is wearing a large hoodie with "I'm one of the salami thieves" on it, has a key to their home and they've regularly spotted him coming in and taking things out of the kitchen...)

Is it this one? If so I don't see any lemmy links in that thread.
