How can fedi help fight bad internet bills? (1/N) If you haven't read Christine's "What happened to the fight for the internet?" (linked in the quoted post), you really should. You can see some of my initial thoughts about Christine's excellent post in the replies, including an observation that people on decentralized social networks can potentially play a big role in pushing back on bad internet bills, but to date haven't had a lot of impact. So let's make things concrete. What can fedi do to push back on KOSA and age verification bills that the US Senate is just about to vote on, C-34 in Canada, the social media ban in France, upcoming C. hat Control 2.0 in the EU, or whatever bad internet bills are in place wherever you are? #fediverse @general@activitypub.space

As Christine Lemmer-Webber says in What happened to the fight for the internet?, bad internet bills are being proposed across the US, Canada, Europe, and the UK -- and really across the world.

Suppose we decide to make it a collective project and galvanize people around the idea of "Save fedi, fight badinternet bills!" There are enough of us here, many of us with broad networks outside fedi as well, that we could really make a difference.

What kinds of things could we do to make ourselves more effective?

There are a bunch of initial ideas in the Mastdoon thread, but suggestions welcome whether or not you've read it!

Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much more with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome 🤟😁
