What’s stopping you from organizing and/or developing a community in your local area? (hexbear.net)

I do not mean this as a rhetorical question: I mean it literally. Tell us what’s stopping you! I don’t want to invalidate you, but the opposite. I’m sure people here would love to help if it’s possible. Post away!

Personally, I think Covid and the general amount of work everyone does are the two biggest obstacles to community building. Not just for me, but everybody I know. It’s nearly impossible to build a community when nobody has the energy to even play a video game together, and actually meeting up in person can literally kill you. There are definitely solutions, but we need to realize them as problems first to find them. If you have suggestions, please share them! Same goes for the issues everyone else shares (if they’re ok with help, of course).

Agitation is low commitment and it is an important job. We don't all have to be a leader to help organize. "From each according to their ability..." Trash talking capitalism and hyping yer boy Marx is something you are proly great at even if finding the right time might be hard.

This is why I created a Facebook account after deleting one decades ago. It has zero PII on it, which isnt too hard to do. I use it to agitate on my towns most popular page.

Tools I used:

Firefox Relay for the email.
Firefox Facebook Container Tab.
VPN.
SMSPool for verification codes (funded from some old satashis I had kicking around).
A photo of a relative who doesn't use Facebook.

The last two you only need if you are accused of not being a "real person".

what vpn do you use that doesn't make facebook immediately disable the account?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I use Nord but they did disable my account lol. That's why I needed the last two points in the list. I don't know that it's VPN related. But I used SMSPool to get a one-time-use phone number to get their Auth code. The used a photo of a relative for the "selfie" check.
