@_elena@mastodon.social Great idea. Decentralized networks like Mastodon are a great fit for protest organizers.

@_elena@mastodon.social I don’t see the normies ever coming over here in numbers. They’re perfectly fine with their Twitter and their blue sky. We still got each other though.

@_elena@mastodon.social Especially with mesh wifi networks... Or even phone lines...

RE: https://mastodon.social/@_elena/117513247794023369 @_elena@mastodon.social If you have friend group that isn't yet planning for internet restrictions, now is a great time to start. I'm no pro, but I think Signal is a bare-minimum start. Self-hosted messaging systems and mesh radios seem like a good direction to build towards.

@_elena@mastodon.social I recently created a mastodon account and I really hope decentralized social networks catch on in Brazil, but they are pretty much unknown. Meta shouldn't be interfering in our elections or any election for that matter

@_elena@mastodon.social ah. Mesh networks become even more interesting

@_elena@mastodon.social @joachim@boitam.eu that will need to be done IRL... Because the mass media won't mention it even in Europe and the alternative would be to create TikTok content everyday in hope the algorithm does not shadow bans us for promoting alternatives before we reach an audience. Gotta print zines and hand them at highschoolers in the street

@_elena@mastodon.social There is a cultural problem. They have no idea about the internet, no imagination. I imagine the advent of many social networks like #holossocial , where every smartphone is the server.

@_elena@mastodon.social no one better than the French to organise in protests. They started using bitchat that messages via Bluetooth. Anyone going around to a protest without airplane mode is signaling their location. Public cameras and highway cameras were covered. They know what to do

@_elena@mastodon.social "The French government explored ways of blocking social networks during last Saturday's protests" this is fucking wild to read. that's what authoritarian governments (eg. in Syria) have been doing at various points in the past decade, to much derision from western media as "dystopian". and yet it's now being reported on as if it's a normal thing to be doing. the political frame truly has shifted, huh?
