You’re focusing too much on the WordPress example. There are a dozen tools mentioned in the article that will clarify what’s possible.

A CMS is a specific type of no-code software. N8N or Appsmith are definitely not a CMS

This is exactly what happens under fascism way before digitalization. Do you think they care if they make mistakes? They round up and jail random people if they are not sure. You really should read how fascism played out in Italy, Germany or Chile because you seem dangerously misguided

yeah, that’s a microscopic element of privacy in a situation where the state can come and kill you with no accountability. You still have a body, you still need to inhabit a space, eat food and exist in the world. Encryption won’t help you with that.

No problem with that. My problem is with people who expect to start from theory as if that it’s a relatable and normal thing to do.

most working class people cannot read well, let alone theory, have no material time to read, or if, they do, they don’t have the mental energy or continuity to get to the end of it, grapple alone on how to turn that into action and find a path for themselves. It’s very individualistic, good for the privileged who organize out of aspiration rather than out of necessity. Any serious org, to the people coming to offer help, should answer: “this is John, he will teach you how to do X and Y, and why this is important. Get to work”. Anything else is designed for an intellectual, individualistic minority that never gets shit done.

“I want to help”

“Read several books first”.

Are you aware of how disgusting and classist it sounds?

lol, there’s no privacy in a fascist State because the state doesn’t feel compelled to respect the law and doesn’t recognize fundamental rights. Nobody is going to leave you alone. Get real.

I wish it was personal beef. It’s a systemic pathology throughout the left, reason why I abandoned those spaces to organize elsewhere.

That’s the narrative after the fact to justify successful revolutions.

Many revolutions have had setbacks at times, but showed regular growth in the participation of organizations building them and growth in the resources they could mobilize.

Most professional revolutionaries, like Lenin, Ho Chi Min, Guevara etc were middle-upper class who could commit their time and resources to build structure. Revolutions never start from the poor, because the poor are busy working. The best they can do is rioting or protesting, but protests never change things.

What I’m saying is that with this narrative about losing we justify a tolerance for defeat, ineffectiveness and spontaneism that pamper and console people in their powerlessness, breeding activists and protestors instead of organizers. While nobody should be judged for not winning, we also shouldn’t be so comfortable with losing. It’s also very alienating for normal people: if they have to give up their time and energy to chase a higher goal, they want to win, they don’t want to “lose better”. Nobody wants to be a loser, except insular dirtbag leftists with an outcast attitude.

Because you live in a bubble and your needs are not the needs of the vast majority of human on Earth. Also change is not a matter of opinions or conscience, it’s a matter of organizing and building power. Most people can agree on a topic without anything changing.

FOSS is the backbone of IT

FOSS is the backbone of a mlitiary-corporate monstrous machine of death and exploitation. I get that originally the movement was more concerned with the freedom of software than the freedom of people, but I would say “FOSS being a force for good” is definitely a battle that was lost.

Because it’s historically been the nature of these causes that they’re losing right up until the moment they win. Seems impossible till it’s done, journey of a thousand miles, single step and all that.

That’s survivor bias. Sometimes it goes like that, but in the vast majority of cases you just lose. This narrative is toxic because it keeps people stuck into an anti-strategic mindset, turning politics into morality and making all of us worse off.

The last 30 years of activism prove you quite wrong

I’m not, because I do nothing actively in feminist political spaces. I believe opinions count nothing and don’t change the world, so I don’t want to be bundled up with the plenty of people who use it as a label for virtue signaling while not actually putting the effort in.

Not sure these are communities that I would like to see on Lemmy necessarily, but they are stuff that I have no space to discuss here:

• political organization design
• fermentation
• fine dining and cooking
• videogames design theory and videogames critique

I have a notion setup organized around tasks, calls to organize, and clients.

I have several view and attributes to fit the tasks to my workflow.

I have a daily routine and a weekly routine template that gets added to the task list regularly with custom views for each action. This includes reviewing the email inbox, the calendar, the long-term backlog, and many other things. I then end the daily routine by estimating among the open tasks, the most important and setting a workload for the day.

In my experience it is the total opposite: the habit of individual, culturally-oriented actions cultivates a normalization of symbolic, small-scale actions and prevents people to develop a taster for collective action. Once they hit the limit of what they can do alone in the cultural sphere, instead of asking themselves how to overcome these limits, they just ignore collective forms of action to keep repeating the same individualistic and symbolic actions. Most people who show up and take initiative in collective efforts almost always have no history of engaging with symbolic actions and emancipating themselves from that mindset. There are a few, but it’s by far the exception.
