Without #communication there can be no #resistance.

Communication is what allows isolated #dissidents to join up, understand their situation, and #plan for #action It is what allows a resistance group to break its isolation to become part of a #movement, rooted in larger #society.

#Resisters need to #communicate to #strategize, #analyze, #mobilize, and #act, especially under #repressive #surveillance states. Good communication is a prequisite to successful #recruiting, #fundraising, and movement-building in general.

And conversely, it is the #corporatemedia and other official channels of communication that allow the government to #control the popular #narrative and imagination, to #smear or #deceive resisters, to divide dissidents against each other, even to obscure or #erase struggles for #justice from collective memory. So it's no surprise-with so much at stake that effective resisters fight to reach out and communicate.

Rarely is that as dramatic as the takeover of a TV station in the middle of a parliamentary broadcast. Communication through less fantastic methods (giving #interviews, making #websites, and sharing #pamphlets) is no less important. Effective communication doesn't have to be a spectacle (and the drive to make it a spectacle can be a trap the mass media use to distort movements).

I’m not going to tell you here how to make a zine or write a press release; those practicalities are handled in more detail elsewhere. I'm going to address bigger questions that are discussed less often:

How do resistance movements communicate externally to reach #sympathizers and #supporters?

How do they deal with the power and contradictions of the mass media?

How do they communicate internally to build a shared culture and organize action?

And how do they maintain safe communication - especially in #underground groups-when dealing with repressive states and pervasive surveillance?

I may have been a bit pessimistic in this post. If groups were to stay focused on local, physically being able to meet up AND the groups kept their events private to the group only (easily done) AND moderated who could follow the group from non-Mobilizon platforms (also doable), I could see it being useful for loose federation with other instances where groups share similar goals.

It would take a lot of time to slowly build up the community members since trust would be paramount, but I am starting to see how #mobilizon could be used for more “risky” organizing activities.

Even though #framasoft is no longer developing Mobilizon, having passed that to Kaihuri, I appreciate what they did and what ideas having Mobilizon around generates, with or without using the platform. Thanks and I hope Mobilizon can continue to fill a role that few other platforms can. #fediverse #mobilize

Brioco Social NetworkingDannekRose (@dannekrose)I would LOVE to see #mobilizon instances pop up to have people use them to share word about protests or other organizing activities. I also know that unless it was a critical mass of instances, they could easily be taken down via DoS attacks by those in power. I don’t know what a critical mass of instances would need to be but depending upon how effective DoS attacks are, I can imagine it would need to be several hundred to several thousand with more popping up as they get attacked. I think the total number of Mobilizon instances is maybe a hundred or so at the moment and that includes old and abandoned ones. I have a soft spot in my heart for Mobilizon. It seems like it was partially conceived for times like this. If such a network of them were to draw the ire of powerful people, I don’t know how it could survive though. #fediverse #mobilize 📎
