      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
