I reported my conclusions from the Lurk Mastodon workshop to the #MayFirst coordination team today. My overall conclusion is that the differences between individual and organization memberships in the cooperative make SNS unlikely to get much traction, absent a focused effort to get the member orgs to adopt the initiative, since #MayFirst doesn't have direct access to the people in its member orgs to recruit/evangelize. ( it is not recursive.) It did start a conversation that gets the idea some attention in our leadership.

I will probably set up an unofficial instance to make it easy to try it out safely. #MayFirst is a member of #RisingMajority (https://therisingmajority.com/organizations/) , which is a coalition of activist organizations itself, so this emergent structure of hierarchies of networked organizations of organizations is a thing we all might need to figure out in the present global political climate.

My anarchist preferences for prefiguration, non-domination and direct sociality don't necessarily preclude hierarchy, if it doesn't create injustice or oppression, so maybe the Fediverse can be tweaked to accomodate it. How do contemporary radical feminists address this possibility of hierarchy among voluntary equals?
