You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism | Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them

WDYM mobile-friendly? There are plenty of engines, I suppose some have adaptive design.
Anyway, I remember browsing websites of that time using Sony PSP default browser. This was certainly harder than anything you get today. Still bearable enough.
Just opened one forum made with Invision Power Board, it is of course not adaptive, but I don't need endless scroll on a forum. Pretty usable with, well, zoom in, zoom out, tap. All that.
WDYM have apps? You have a web browser. It's intended to visit websites. I would understand if those apps would provide any functionality outside of that of a website. Maybe putting website bookmarks on the home screen would be a good user-friendly feature for Android though. Those could even use RSS to indicate something. Maybe those should be just RSS indicators even.
If you mean that you don't want web, just something like Usenet - I have no answer except Usenet itself. Freenet (Locutus) seems to have a winter depression, but I haven't visited their Matrix channel lately.

Still talking about it.
Or are you pretending like making people speak about a thing — globally — doesn't mean anything?
-
Ah man, you were making progress, too. Almost had half of a good argument.

which is why i refused to pay for tv/movies. I refused to spend my hard earned money on their "circus"
-
So that's a "yes, I am going to obstinately pretend that making literally the whole world speak about something does not mean anything and can't even be called an achievement"?
Aww. It's gonna be hard to get anyone to think anything you say matters when you don't believe that speaking doesn't mean anything. ;>

The revoltion will not be televised - Gill Scott Heron

Even people agreeing with this are wary of any revolution which is not in some way being televised. And more trusting to television than to what they can see with their own eyes.

They have done the same to liberals, just in a different way. Why do the harder thing when the easier thing is just as good? Most liberals already believe bullshit just as convenient for Trump.
How you support or not support an idea is not less important than what is that idea.

They're dozens of us.

There is another way - if it’s in your power, don’t obey the regime in any way.
Can you please cite a historical event anywhere in the world from any time in history where this was done and worked?
Thanks.

Is signal not good enough or something? I basically switched to signal.

I know what hobby project I'd want to lift, but I also know that I struggle with much simpler undertakings - like, for example, cooking something normal more than twice a week.

Humans seem not to be great planners - we are too short-sighted and selfish, but like in a bad way where we first lie to ourselves, and then also to one another.
This allows us to get out of local minima as we spread to new areas, but that same trait seems equally likely to lead to our extinction when all areas have been found and we need rather to switch to a more stablilzed society, yet won't bc we don't feel like doing so.

Social media is doing everything in the establishment’s favor
For about half a second, people used social media to organize. Then the fascists saw how to manipulate and control it, and jumped at the opportunity. At this point social media -- especially corporate controlled social media -- is just part of the fascist apparatus.
To a lesser extent, as this article talks about, the coping mechanism of posting allows you to vent enough to prevent you from having the discomfort necessary to actually do anything. It's not nearly as harmful, but it's not good either.
