I guess that this 50501 movement has somehow gained some recent popularity from somewhere, but the sheer volume of content, communities, and even instances seems weird.
Where did this all come from and why did it seem to come as a sudden flood?
For those who, like me, don’t know what 5051 is, it is an american protest movement against corruption “50 protests. 50 states. 1 movement.”
Please correct me if I’m wrong.
They’re establishing communities here because reddit (where the community mostly started) can censor or ban their community at any moment. The fediverse offers a lot more protection from censorship.
Seeing the censorship of redditors who mention Luigi, or wish anything bad on MAGA people, it makes a lot of sense not to be overly reliant on reddit when organizing protests.
I was banned for “showing extreme indifference” when that really funny thing happened to the health care CEO
You mean when Luigi Mangione, a folk hero, ALLEGEDLY shot a capitalist mass murderer in the back?
No way he’d ever do such a thing. I know a guy who said they saw him at a party in Pittsburgh at the time of the shooting.
When Luigi Mangione ALLEGEDLY did a good deed for the benefit of all of society, you mean?
There’s also a community that mirrors posts and comments from Reddit, so it looks like a lot is happening here while it’s actually all happening on Reddit.
