@aiquiral@joenepraat@nostupidquestions Yeah I guess that's what @bacteriostat means with the network effects being real. That's why it would maybe be good to jump on a some event. Preferably with some political weight.
Then again, never waste a good crisis. Maybe now that communication strategies are still being developed, now is the right moment to convince people to at least ALSO be here?
@bacteriostat@nostupidquestions@admin@joenepraat If the #CockroachJantaParty would tell it's millions of Instagram followers to move to some still-to-be-set-up setup server like @cockroach.org if necessary with a VPN to circumvent government censorship, that would be a great way to bring India into the Fediverse...
If necessary followed through a relay, like #FediBuz to bring together different servers? (Paste https://relay.fedi.buzz/tag/fedindia in the search bar + follow + add notification alert?)
Ok. I would say the main question should be "are there sufficiently accessible alternatives to the usage of Twitter in the communication between companies and customers?"
I guess in practice, at least in Europe, there are often multiple ways to reach out to companies? (Twitter, contact form etc.) So in that sense it makes sense?
But the fact that Twitter is also used (much more) to share memes should not matter?
(Disclaimer: I haven't looked into this case in too much detail).
@HexesofVexes Last year students were blocking that very bridge to protest the university's response to Israel's violence in Palestine. They should have know that they were being accompanied by this paleo-force of resistance.

@bacteriostat @nostupidquestions @joenepraat @aiquiral Yeah I understand. Don't want to distract them from more immediate challenges.

@bacteriostat @nostupidquestions @admin @joenepraat I'd be happy to help set it up. Anyway to reach out to them? 🤪 @aiquiral ?

@joenepraat @nostupidquestions
Some questions are worth repeating every now and then? 🥲
@bacteriostat @nostupidquestions
Maybe it would help if there was a clear rallying point?
For #Colombia https://col.social/ , managed by @admin , seems to have worked quite well for that.
But I guess it doesn't have to be a server. It could also be a hashtag?
Like #FedIndia ?

@dogslayeggs To be honest I barely think at all.

@abff08f4813c @OpenTech_AUC Just curious: what do you mean "not its primary purpose"?
