@xgranade Partner of mine just signed up for an XMPP server (I already used XMPP) - which, similarly works across servers, and can cover almost everything I needed from discord (+ allows end to end encryption)
The hardest part of them signing up was waiting for the server admin to approve their account.
So, there's options that aren't particularly difficult to use or set up, that also don't lock you and all your friends into a singular server/provider.
... some of the options ~ 30 years old.
@inthehands There have been murmurings of one for may 1st ( https://paydayreport.com/labor-leaders-warm-to-general-strike-nationwide-on-may-1st/ ),
The timing is a bit slower, but, to organize a national general strike at scale, it's going to be a bit of a pain to put together.
Pressuring union/labour leaders, and other community members//leaders - your church, friends, coven, polycule, D&D group, whatever - to participate, and to pressure their people to participate, increases the odds of it happening, ofc.
