One of the biggest strengths of the fediverse (and free software) movements is how it brings people to collaborate and to spur that, we need spaces to organize. I see here and across the fediverse that people want to help out but don't know how.

I've just started a set of Matrix rooms (with a bridged Discord server so that the chat platform doesn't get in the way of people wanting to participate) where people can do the following:

strategize on how to best promote the fediverse
collaborate on their free-culture/federated projects and find people to help
promote their own fediverse content, find fediverse creators to follow, and offer feedback to others'

The video has been uploaded and the server is up. If you have any ideas, any ways you'd like to help, or just want to chat, join!

I really do believe this is gonna be crucial to pulling off our task. Real-time chat is more personal and live so it's easier to collaborate and build a community.

Thanks @[email protected] . Yeah, it's a good idea, but what can one do if there are around 30 people who believe that PixelFed is a better platform and not even 1 takes action for something they themselves believe in! We need better incentives. Like money from ads, hot influencers, dinners with actors, 30 mins online chat opportunities with say someone like Luke Smith or so on!

We need easiest user experience and compatibility of free software with capitalism. I've written an article and a new free sofware license on this which would come out soon. Making free software compatible with capitalism.

Ideas work if people co-operate. In capitalism, people co-operate only for money. That's the whole point of utilitarianism and equating money with utility.
