if your org isn't like that, you have a political problem. you're (accidentally) reproducing some structural oppression, and you need to acknowledge that and actively work to fix it
a good indicator of a healthy political org is black women, trans women, autistic women, disabled women, in every level of leadership

right now we spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars printing flyers and posters and rap sheets (by far our largest expense other than renting space), and we reproduce the capitalist relation of production in the process. getting stuff printed is a bottleneck in practically every project i have worked on. but if we do our own printing we can remove that bottleneck and start reproducing a socialist relation of production in that small way
one of my recurring lessons-learned from every organizing project I work on is that DSA needs a regional Bay Area office, and a print shop

@cnc you figured out the dmenu color thing right?
If you think the only reason to use a self-hosted social network is if you want to circumvent the laws, you're making the same argument as only wanting privacy if you've got something to hide. YouTube ran an algorithm to delete "extremist videos" and accidentally irreversibly deleted a bunch of historical evidence of destruction of Syrian historical sites. Shit like that happens all the time when someone else is in charge.
Tech writer: mastodon will never kill twitter
Mastodon users: meh, that's okay, all I ever really wanted was a place where I wouldn't be relentlessly attacked by nazis, ads or nazi ads
Tech writer: and therefore Mastodon sucks and is doomed to perpetual failure
Mastodon users: maybe you want to double-check your metrics of success, bud
Tech writer: dooooooooooooooooomed!
