In a guest article co-written by Heidi Li Feldman and Tim Chambers, the case is made in favor of political organizing in the Fediverse, rather than through corporate social media.

Both authors bring up case studies in their experience in grassroots fundraising and advocacy for the Harris-Walz presidential campaign through Mastodon and Bluesky.

Umm .. Bluesky is "corporate social media", even if they try to act nice registering as a "benefit corporation". Still should not be considered part of the fediverse.

As a country well-versed in revolutions, China can tell you it all ends up as warlords vying for hegemonic dictatorship regardless of the original intent.
