50501 General

Can we get a community for Canada?

Find protests locations and times at the link above. Here are some of their flyers:

And here's another with more words https://www.nalc.org/news/body/Public-flyer.pdf

This was popular in 2017 and 2018, and is even more relevant today.

Keep resisting.

The title of this community is "general". When people do a community search on "50501", it will not show up in the search results. Can we please rename this to "50501" or even "50501 - General"?

Twitter was replaced by this website for a couple of minutes. In the website, it states that it's purpose is to fight the fascism plaguing America, and lists helpful info/resources on protesting, OPSEC, and evil groups assisting with Trump's agenda. It even mentions 50501 and Tesla Takedown within the resources.

With a likely increase of people here from Reddit, might be helpful to use this to offer a old.50501.chat domain so people have something familiar

See what it looks like on some instances:

We need to build local state-specific communities on 50501 Lemmy here!

Organizers, Coordinators & Liaisons:

Please create a thread on your state specific communities and you will get access to build a community here! (There will be additional checks to confirm)

See and connect with state organizers already on here by expanding the State Community List | Organizers title in the sidebar!

Here's a Short Tutorial

Lets get decentralized and away from centralized platform!

How Hitler used hate to gain power and that its not worth it to fall for hate. Worth a watch, you can even do a movie night on it maybe, its scary.

I'd say that we should not mirror Reddit comments if our comments will not be mirrored to the subreddit. It will not allow for Lemmy users to give their thoughts on the sub's posts because it would be hard to find Lemmy comments. But afaik, the mirror only saves posts for 15 to 30 days? With that restriction, it might be slightly pointless to not mirror comments.

I would like to be able to cooperate with the people on Reddit, but it might not be a good idea to mirror Lemmy posts/comments either because Reddit might crack down on it. Hoping for screencaps though.

If you wanted to see comments from Reddit, you could go to Reddit directly or use a privacy front-end like Redlib. (If you are gonna use that, I'd recommend the LibRedirect add-on!)

Thank you for this! I've been wanting to contribute to the movement, but Reddit won't let me post with a VPN. :<

Could you put the announcement post back up at Reddit? I don't think many people noticed it, I'd like the Lemmy instance linked in the fiftyfifty.one website too.
