New Community Signal Boost

[soc_puppet]

And it's not one I made for once!

hyperlocal_politics has just opened, with an explanation of why the mod chose Dreamwidth as a host site over many other options out there. Definitely a community to keep an eye on if you want to get involved locally to combat any of the upcoming (and already started) bullshit from this administration.

I think it's implied to be US-centric, but I haven't checked with the mod. If it is, then I imagine the mod would be welcome to having sibling communities for other countries/regions/etc.

Thank you for the signal boost! <3

Folks from anywhere are welcome to post, or to make sibling communities if that's their preference.

I personally am based in the US, and the current administration here was definitely on my mind, but I know fascism and a lack of in-depth local reporting are a problem in many countries.

A handful of organized, passionate people can change local policies - and that's one of the best defenses we have against fascism and authoritarianism writ large. Without local complicity, their job gets a lot harder.

I'm planning to do tag wrangling, organization, and troll-banning as needed; I'm sure that if this takes off, the needs there will evolve.

Awesome, thank you for the clarification! And right on time for me to drop another signal boost for the comm at queerly_beloved 👀

Also, your username is A+, love the layers. (Why yes, I'm on the left and I have a lot of beef right now, thanks for noticing!)

Love it; I'll check the comm out!

(I didn't want to tie this handle to my others, and I am so not above meme jokes. XD I've been laughing to myself every time I log into this account - because gosh do I have a lot of beef right now too.)
