The Mastodon For Harris campaign has raised close to $500,000 within two weeks of being live. It is probably the largest attempt for political organizing on the Fediverse, and may provide a playbook for other efforts going forward.

First time I donated this cycle. Wanted to support a good candidate and boost the Fediverse profile. At this point just seeing the logo for the site formerly known at Twitter makes me sick.

You actually give your hard earned money to a millionaire? I'd rather burn it.

A millionaire being opposed by billionaires? Yeah, I'm fine with that.

"Opposed"

Sure.

I keep forgetting Lemmy is ok with millionaires all of a sudden.

The difference between a million and a billioj is about one billion. Millionaires aren't the biggest bloodsuckers by a long shot, so the focus right now is on damage control by opposing the parasites.
