They also have a Mastodon account: @eff@mastodon.social

Promoting it with...a Twitch stream.

You have to meet your audience where they are at. Twitch makes a lot of sense and has a lot of reach.

Where they get absolutely roasted for their stance on AI 😄

You can reach your audience from a variety of channels. At least one of them should be free. This should be seeringly obvious to an org like EFF.

A doctor must go where the sick people are.

A doctor cannot be in several places at once. That's where your analogy falls apart.

It's not an analogy, it's a philosophy.

You're missing the point...

Maybe your point isn't the only one trying to be made.

mastoholes at it again

don’t waste your money EFF this place sucks

Would you like to share with the class what point you're trying to make?

E: this person still has not answered.

fork found in kitchen

May I ask that you start?

Can you explain to me why promoting the Feddiverse on Twitch is bad?

Promoting the Feddiverse on the Feediverse just seem like preaching to the choir.

Then why are you here?

Streaming from twitch? The Nazi Terrorist platform gross.

limited non-american spaces online + i ask myself the same thing every day

May I ask that you start?

No, you said someone else's point was trying to be made and now you're deflecting. I asked you first. You answer mine and then we can move on to yours.

What?

When did I do that?

Please read the usernames in the thread before trying to do callouts.

Please stop replying to questions that aren't addressed to you and you aren't answering.

You cannot advertise the fediverse to people already on the fediverse. They are already using it.

You need to advertise to people who are on things like twitch, Facebook, X etc.

This stream is not for you, thus it is twitch specific.

This is a public forum, if you want to talk private, use a private medium

Have you considered it's not the space you hate but the people who occupy it? Try as hard as you may, you will not find a place for people to talk without finding people talking.

err yeah? it's the people here who I don't get along with because I have hobbies outside of American politics, I have no issues on reddit or whirlpool or other places

It can improve if you use the block button liberally, especially on mastodon

trust me I definitely use it, however fundamentally this is taking a place that has like 3 hobbies (American politics, Linux and Left Wing Progressive/American politics) and making it even smaller, this was supposed to be an alternative to reddit but it has like 7 active comms that aren't somehow related to the above 3, even Lemmy Shitpost is filled with American/Left Wing Politics ALL the time

You're going to say next: be the change you seek and I am however I am a drop in the American ocean

Perfect is the enemy of the good, aight?

Checking every single ethical box will leave you with an audience of 1,5 nerds. For EFF, this would be a massive failure on their mission.

EFF needs outreach, and Twitch provides it. Managing a political project is in a big way about pragmatism, and EFF maintains integrity where it matters.

why don't you bring all your rightwing friends and make it the place you want it to be, this place sucks for you because it works with people actually doing things. You want work done for you, go back to reddit

I don't know what that means sorry, can you explain further?

A quick look at your profile shows you're clearly in your zone here (American politics, Linux and Left Wing Progressive/American politics) so that's good for you at least?

You might find that Piefed makes it easier to curate your feed. It has keyword filters which for me makes all the difference.

Yeah it looked great until the creator of it went on a mad dash banning everyone he didn't like for wrongthink, not quite sure how your message came through to me I'm pretty sure I was banned for every ism under the sun

It's especially ironic when I get called a right wing American when I detest America, the level of thought here is the most primitive I've ever seen on an internet forum "agree with me or you are nazi"

So here I sit, Lemmy has chased away all the normal people and left people like the above who say things like "why don’t you bring all your rightwing friends" when I don't have rightwing friends, I have friends with hobbies outside of American politics, Linux and Left Wing Progressive/American politics, and if I dare complain about the lack of interesting content here it's because I am lazy and not doing enough :\

Yeah, that's not how this works. Everyone is welcome to participate.

Well, at least I'm not alone.

I wasn't talking privately. I just wasn't talking to you. I was asking a specific person about what they said, which is not something you can answer, which you didn't even try to do.

Everyone cannot answer the question about what a specific person was saying. Which is just as well, because they did not try.

So people on the Fediverse shouldn't be allowed to participate?

I couldn't have been more clear...

Economic Freedom Fighters? (Link doesn't load for me)

Stop using lemmy, use piefed or mbin. They have better filters. I have blocked anything and everything related to us politics and it's been pretty good. Mastodon is filled with US people and their dumb topics though. It's good I don't like the way mastodon presents stuff because I find it impossible to navigate and follow discussions. Threads are way better

No, you were replying to two other people in the thread before I commented, pay attention to the usernames remember.

This all started because you implied that Twitch was a bad platform for promoting the Feddiverse without giving a reason.

So, yeah, what is your reason for not thinking Twitch is a good platform to use to promote the Feddiverse?

Electronic Frontier Foundation

Do you need to be rightwing to get annoyed by boring bland statements that get repeated over and over and over and over and over again that oversimplify and frame everything as the pure evil that cannot be convinced to change vs us

Even if you agree with them, do they not annoy you?

What happened with the creator of piefed?

Im pretty active in cooking/gardening/gaming. Dont post much about politics, honestly cuz Im afraid of the surveilence state.. so I avoid comment mostly in that topic and lurk. Seems okay to me, I dont often fight with anyone.

It's what you make it. Post about your hobbies, remain positive, and youll get that back; Not only here, but it works this way in life mostly too. No one cares where youre from in the comm types I mentioned. Post youre aussie garden. My favorite garden video I ever saw was a fella from Australia. His garden was gorgeous and he was cool af.

Who the fuck is EFF?

Plus you can't trust people to accurately decide which people are ethical or not. Look at Israel, their agents and allies mindfuck the left and right with abandon, and even leftists will fall for it, castigating and rejecting tens of millions of people because they are "right" pointing to groyper twat faces as charicatures of all of them, while doing the same to the left on the right, associating you alll with their charichatures.

Especial Furry Fuckers. It's a big win for the fediverse!

The Electronic Frontier Foundation. They do good work

If you search for rimu you'll quickly find all sorts of interesting threads and comments, that said I thought he banned me but it looks like I mixed up rimu mass banning from piefed.social and teseract mass shadowbanning users

it's funny because I thought coming from reddit there would be less moderation but instead it looks like the opposite has happened

Shout out to piefed for promoting this thread though:
