This isn’t about autism, which is the usual topic on this page. But I have this platform and I intend to use it for good.
If you’re following what’s happening on Wall Street & you’re worried about the subreddit and Discord server being shut down, I have 1 word for you: Mastodon

Mastodon is a decentralized, open-source social media platform.
There are no corporate owners.
You won’t have your whole operation shut down because you’re challenging the power of billionaires.
Anyone can create an “instance.”
It seems like the perfect place to continue.

What we’re all witnessing right now is an extremely historic moment.
Working class people who know how the system works are acting in solidarity with each other to redistribute wealth.
It’s important that the people who are doing this don’t lose the ability to communicate.

And that’s where I think Mastodon could come in handy.
It would allow people to coordinate these actions freely, without the risk of things getting shut down by the corporate owner of whatever social media platform they’re using.
That could be game changing.

I’m not a member of the subreddit that organized this, and I’m not directly involved in any other way.
And I don’t know that much about the inner workings of Reddit or Discord or Mastodon.
But I think this is important for me to say, in case I’m onto something.

I deeply admire all of the people who are using their earnings from this to donate to organizations that are improving the material conditions of humanity & the earth.
People are using their earnings to donate to animal rescues, organizations that help homeless people, etc.

So to tie this into autism, I’ll offer up some autistic-led organizations you can donate to:
First, the Autistic Self Advocacy Network. Anyone can donate or become a member.
Second, the Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network. They also have a specific fund for autistic POC.

And I’ll add this last note:
Ordinary people have a lot more power than we know, especially when we act in solidarity with one another.
Remember the power of cooperation, of collective action.
We can change things for the better. No dream is too big when we dream together.
