50501 General

I found this cool guide from r/50501. It is from u/MGSFFVII and they spent a lot of time on it. Covers from protesting, to boycotting and eliminating big tech, to recruitment and community.

I decided to start a list of links as I thought that there was no collection of links. We should collect links and images relating to 50501. Please share this list around. If you want to save this repo to your hard drive, click the view source button and copy. Give suggestions to add or edit to the list, via replies or messages, description is not required but appreciated.
