Can the Fediverse Help Stop Bad Internet Bills?
wedistribute.org
Activism has historically worked best on Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit in the past. With the shift in those networks, we have to wonder about the Fediverse. The July 20-28 Week of Action is a good time to experiment!

The fediverse has some potential advantages for activism on topics like privacy, digital rights, and LGBTQIA2S+ issues. So it’s worth experimenting, and the July 20-28 week of action on Bad Internet Bills is a great opportunity – to learn, and hopefully to have an impact as well.

    Yo just so you know two spirit has nothing to do with furries. It usually refers to gender nonconforming traditions in indigenous american communities and has largely come into favor in Canada as part of recent campaigns to recognize tribal communities and their histories. These movements have obviously existed for a long time but the revelations about atrocities committed at residential schools seems to have really pushed them into the mainstream.

    Otherwise, I think you’re thinking of “otherkin” who are not generally included under the LGBTQ umbrella, but are frequently brought up to discredit queer progress as a movement.

      Even without that it’s not about furries, they’re thinking of therians. Furries just think anthro animals look cute, not that they’re an animal in a human suit.
