I'm working on an activism campaign kicking off next week opposing some bad internet bills in the US -- here's the kbin magazine I just set up, and I might set up a Lemmy community as well if that makes sense. Once things get going, we'll be sharing links including information and actions people can take.

Have there been other activism campaigns on Lemmy or kbin, and if so what to learn from them?

Or, any thoughts on what could make an activism campaign successful here?

Just remember that the posts and comments on Lemmy are pretty much public. The government might not need to subpoena any information except maybe

  1. IP address, which your instance's admins (and possibly the community mods) have access to
  2. DMs, which your instance's admins and possibly the other party instance's have access to

You should let the people in your campaign know as well if you use Lemmy for communications.

It's a great point. This kind of legislative activism is frequently done in public on Twitter, Facebook, etc. as well so the risks are low in general but it's still something to make people aware of. It's a real contrast with anything that's direct action, where the fediverse is a non-starter.
