  • yeah, it's quite big, because in a way it's the biggest win so far for the BDS in American tech.

  • I didn't mention some other systems, but for bigger campaigns ActionNetwork is one of the most used tools and has a lot of integrations, for instance with N8N. I do run some systems with ActionNetwork, mostly for newsletters. The thing of using N8N as a glue layer is that you can integrate with more specialized tools if the need arises, maintaining your custom systems for more niche cases.

  • You're focusing too much on the WordPress example. There are a dozen tools mentioned in the article that will clarify what's possible.

  • A CMS is a specific type of no-code software. N8N or Appsmith are definitely not a CMS

  • How can I join the resistance ?

    Jump

  • This is exactly what happens under fascism way before digitalization. Do you think they care if they make mistakes? They round up and jail random people if they are not sure. You really should read how fascism played out in Italy, Germany or Chile because you seem dangerously misguided

  • How can I join the resistance ?

    Jump

  • yeah, that's a microscopic element of privacy in a situation where the state can come and kill you with no accountability. You still have a body, you still need to inhabit a space, eat food and exist in the world. Encryption won't help you with that.

  • How can I join the resistance ?

    Jump

  • No problem with that. My problem is with people who expect to start from theory as if that it's a relatable and normal thing to do.

  • How can I join the resistance ?

    Jump

  • most working class people cannot read well, let alone theory, have no material time to read, or if, they do, they don't have the mental energy or continuity to get to the end of it, grapple alone on how to turn that into action and find a path for themselves. It's very individualistic, good for the privileged who organize out of aspiration rather than out of necessity. Any serious org, to the people coming to offer help, should answer: "this is John, he will teach you how to do X and Y, and why this is important. Get to work". Anything else is designed for an intellectual, individualistic minority that never gets shit done.

  • "I want to help"

    "Read several books first".

    Are you aware of how disgusting and classist it sounds?

  • How can I join the resistance ?

    Jump

  • lol, there's no privacy in a fascist State because the state doesn't feel compelled to respect the law and doesn't recognize fundamental rights. Nobody is going to leave you alone. Get real.

    TikTokers are calling LA ICE raids 'music festivals' to trick the algorithm

  • What made you join a losing cause?

    Jump

  • I wish it was personal beef. It's a systemic pathology throughout the left, reason why I abandoned those spaces to organize elsewhere.

  • What made you join a losing cause?

  • That's the narrative after the fact to justify successful revolutions.

    Many revolutions have had setbacks at times, but showed regular growth in the participation of organizations building them and growth in the resources they could mobilize.

    Most professional revolutionaries, like Lenin, Ho Chi Min, Guevara etc were middle-upper class who could commit their time and resources to build structure. Revolutions never start from the poor, because the poor are busy working. The best they can do is rioting or protesting, but protests never change things.

    What I'm saying is that with this narrative about losing we justify a tolerance for defeat, ineffectiveness and spontaneism that pamper and console people in their powerlessness, breeding activists and protestors instead of organizers. While nobody should be judged for not winning, we also shouldn't be so comfortable with losing. It's also very alienating for normal people: if they have to give up their time and energy to chase a higher goal, they want to win, they don't want to "lose better". Nobody wants to be a loser, except insular dirtbag leftists with an outcast attitude.

  • What made you join a losing cause?

    Jump

  • Because you live in a bubble and your needs are not the needs of the vast majority of human on Earth. Also change is not a matter of opinions or conscience, it's a matter of organizing and building power. Most people can agree on a topic without anything changing.

  • FOSS is the backbone of IT

    FOSS is the backbone of a mlitiary-corporate monstrous machine of death and exploitation. I get that originally the movement was more concerned with the freedom of software than the freedom of people, but I would say "FOSS being a force for good" is definitely a battle that was lost.

  • What made you join a losing cause?

    Jump

  • Because it’s historically been the nature of these causes that they’re losing right up until the moment they win. Seems impossible till it’s done, journey of a thousand miles, single step and all that.

    That's survivor bias. Sometimes it goes like that, but in the vast majority of cases you just lose. This narrative is toxic because it keeps people stuck into an anti-strategic mindset, turning politics into morality and making all of us worse off.
