A good thing about much internet activism is ease of participation (slacktivism). Slacktivism can only go so far. As a similar example, this sub has 89 lemmy.ml subscribers, but most users have never commented or posted anything.

We can keep the lurkers/slacktivists, but it might benefit the ‘core team’ to have proper roles? I’m not entirely sure what the roles would be, but it has never been a problem at work to get workers to participate in the bosses schemes. Obviously a $$$ profit motive would be somewhat beneficial, but i’m sure there are volunteer mostly electronic organizations that do better work than pseudoanonymous internet groups. But when i’ve been in vaguely similar internet activists groups like this, we’re lucky if even 2 people/89 subscribers message the mods of a subreddit about a matrix bridge.

    If you want my advice:

    1. Get people to sign up to be an active member (vs. just lurking)
    2. Appoint a couple of people to be in charge.
    3. Figure out specific goals you want to achieve, list them on some public board
    4. Break down those goals, and plan what you’re going to do to achieve them
    5. Act

    Obviously very high level.
