My hope is people get a fire under there ass and first admit that we have fucked up and it's time to start firing up our own grass roots efforts. Download gimp. Get back on social media since we were never going to make a dent in their profits. Start using all these tools even AI to resist and present a front against these modern nazis. Play fucking dirty if we have to. People bitch about money but that money is only doing what we do for fun. Instead of obsessing about beans and moths, let's get back to being political and taking ground.

Lemmy could be a staging ground with the way it is built. Because when a site is a threat, they'll use every capitalist lever they can to squash it. They'll bring in moderation teams. They'll bring in ads. They'll bring in the tools we didn't resist. And if they do, we stand up a new instance without that shit. But we gotta do something to fire us up or it is only going to get worse.
