COMMUNITY IS THE FOUNDATION FOR 2026
It’s not just about walking away from social media, but where we’re walking to next. As I’ve been saying, social media loses power when we build community in other places. The following is by Heath Racela from ‘I Won’t Tell You to Avoid McDonald’s’
“I can spend the next four years shouting about each and every little decision, or I can spend that time working on building the alternative. I’m not exactly sure what that looks like yet: is it an alternative to the corporate media? Is it some alternative to our current political system? Is it just simply being engaged in mutual aid at the community level? For each of us, it will look different, but I think small, local community building is going to matter much more in the coming years.”
