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?

Do you really need 2 separate communities? Seems like that would just split your fledgling user base.

Yeah, the current thinking is just to have the one magazine for now unless people have good reasons why that won't work. Of course a lot depends on whether there are any active bugs federating between the two systems but I think right now things are copacetic.

copacetic

New word for me (looked it up). Is that regional at all (like a US thing)?

It used to be a slang term people trying to sound hip would use, but that was many decades ago -- 1930s or 1950s I think.
