I do not mean this as a rhetorical question: I mean it literally. Tell us what’s stopping you! I don’t want to invalidate you, but the opposite. I’m sure people here would love to help if it’s possible. Post away!
Personally, I think Covid and the general amount of work everyone does are the two biggest obstacles to community building. Not just for me, but everybody I know. It’s nearly impossible to build a community when nobody has the energy to even play a video game together, and actually meeting up in person can literally kill you. There are definitely solutions, but we need to realize them as problems first to find them. If you have suggestions, please share them! Same goes for the issues everyone else shares (if they’re ok with help, of course).
Being tired and sad all the time and having no time or energy.
Most millennials and younger had/have severe burnout before they even finish their teens
I also don't really have social media, and that's how everyone communicates these days. How am I going to organize people? To do what, exactly? Immediately get infiltrated by the fash or arrested for a lukewarm protest?
I'm not a leader, I need an already good group to follow, I can't do anything right myself.
It frustrates me because I feel like that's the plan of our oligarchs, tire us out, make us sad, too numb to do anything but be herded through the system.
Obviously, I will always refuse to give up, I'm looking for a new group right now actually, but man, it's hard.
I feel you on the social media front.
At some point I'm going to need an account or two that I log into for 15 minutes maybe a few times a week. But I'd want it to not have my name on it, and for my radical identity to be separate from my official/personal/"professional" (lol) identity. It might be easier if I got a few "scrub your main profile" workshops going, but that takes even more time and effort and willpower.
Have you dived very deep into executive functions, and their classification and disorders?
I have ADHD if that's what you mean about disorders, makes my attention span all over the place and I wear out fast

This is why I created a Facebook account after deleting one decades ago. It has zero PII on it, which isnt too hard to do. I use it to agitate on my towns most popular page.
Tools I used:
The last two you only need if you are accused of not being a "real person".
what vpn do you use that doesn't make facebook immediately disable the account?
I use Nord but they did disable my account lol. That's why I needed the last two points in the list. I don't know that it's VPN related. But I used SMSPool to get a one-time-use phone number to get their Auth code. The used a photo of a relative for the "selfie" check.
