So maybe that dual power needs to involve some dual infrastructure, yeah?
Start a mutual aid group who fronts as a tech support collective and gradually install mesh routers and nextcloud instances throughout your neighborhood to make it redundant in case of internet “outages”
Honestly, I’m a proponent in general of establishing local internet collectives so the specifics of this weren’t super important to me as I was posting this, but these are good points. I think any sort of kill switches would be localized and carried out by local PDs using military surplus equipment, as someone else in the thread pointed out
Have you read the insane shit that people post on "local internet collectives" like on nextdoor?
Nextdoor literally gamifies snitching and has no moderation. Preventing bigotry and exclusion amongst a reactionary populace is hard, but it’s something that union organizers deal with all the time. It’s not impossible.
Union organizers and stewards dealing with backwards coworkers to get them on the same page of fighting for their own benefit through collective barganing ≠ telling the dipshit in the next block over he should be thrown in a work camp for saying we should throw the 'Mexican' refugees in industrial ovens at the border.
Yeah I suppose living on the same street isn’t the same amount of interdependence as working together is
not administered locally nor collectively. literally a corporate platform advertised for use by the propertied middle class. if you have zero faith that your neighbors can ever be anything but reactionary, you either gotta move out of Langley, or you have no theory of radical change.
anyway have you read the insane shit that people post on the corporate internet? including nexdoor?
