Not just an ego thing - some people have livelihoods that depend on their follower count. Twitter is very important to update Youtube subscribers, Twitch followers etc. on things. Remember, we are in the early stages of the Technological Adoption Life Cycle (assuming the Fediverse actually catches on) so most people don't use the Fediverse. As a content creator, you have to adapt to what people currently use.

It's quite shit right now but ngl I wouldn't want to live in America either. There are some things I value that we have here which is why it's ever more of a shame it's going down the shitter.

Damn, I really wish I knew portugese at this moment 🥲 - sounds like the PCP is a good case study (especially the owning the streets part) so I'll definitely take a look at learning more about them. Thanks for the in-depth answer.

This was a really helpful answer, thanks!

thanks, do you happen to have a link to which page on the cpusa website has the resource?

 

Context: I live in a smallish to medium sized town in England with no existing socialist/ communist/ anarchist societies or groups that I know of present. The closest I can think of is that we have a Green Party candidate (which is a pretty socialist party)

I've been consuming leftist content for quite a while now - I'd say my deprogramming kind of started during the coronavirus lockdowns but I really started considering myself socialist around 2 years ago. I'm tired of having these beliefs that I don't really seem to act on other than having the odd discussion with friends - I was wondering how I can start mobilising within the community to get real change done. How can I start meeting politically likeminded people in my community. I feel like it's hard to get together as no one ever says they're a communist that often.

Thanks in advance.
