Not just an ego thing - some people have livelihoods that depend on their follower count. Twitter is very important to update Youtube subscribers, Twitch followers etc. on things. Remember, we are in the early stages of the Technological Adoption Life Cycle (assuming the Fediverse actually catches on) so most people don't use the Fediverse. As a content creator, you have to adapt to what people currently use.

Trains are kind of expensive if you live in and are trying to get around a small to medium sized town that is underfunded by your government. BRT is fast to implement and cheaper (although yes, a lot easier to get rid of if the party in charge of your country is obsessed with austerity).

It's quite shit right now but ngl I wouldn't want to live in America either. There are some things I value that we have here which is why it's ever more of a shame it's going down the shitter.

Requesting c/organise - a place for people to discuss strategies, case studies and methods for socialist organisation in their villages, towns and cities.

Looking to figure out how to put your leftist policies into practice in your own specific IRL community? This will be an online space to discuss how to go about it.

Want to share how you managed to organise a successful protest? Leftist book club? Fundraiser? Political party? Lobby for political change? Soup kitchen? I would love for you to be able to share your experiences on this community for people around the world to implement it to their own social circles.

Looking for ways to disseminate helpful educational information for the general public to be on board with certain policies? My hope for this online community is to also discuss ways to spread this information to people in in-real-life communities in order to spur mobilisation for change.

Heard of a successful socialist political party's story and how they managed to influence their own community? This would be a place to share with people willing to hear.

I would love to get people together to discuss how to do the aforementioned. I was hoping there could also be a pinned megathread of common Q&As around organising, and we could even come up with a step by step process on what to do for specific methods.

Thanks for reading, let me know what you guys think. Also, my apologies if this has alrwady been proposed as an idea lol.
