I am clueless about social media. I don’t do Twitter or FaceBook or SnapChat, and if I feel myself going viral I check to see whether I have had a flu shot. I don’t even really know how to create a distribution list, other than this blog, so that I can reach a bunch of people with a few keystrokes. But I bet some of my readers know all of that."<br /><br />Maybe the funniest, and most sanguine thing you've ever written. I'm grinning ear to ear.<br /><br />I read this letter Engels wrote the day after Marx died, last night. I must confess it made me a little misty eyed, but it's reminiscent of your post:<br /><br />"Local lights and lesser minds, if not the humbugs, will now have a free hand. The final victory is certain, but circuitious paths, temporary and local errors – things which even now are so unavoidable – will become more common than ever. Well, we must see it through.

I am not sure just how well they are doing it, however. I've signed up to help there, but I have yet to receive marching orders.<br /><br />A comment on the next post mentions bigtent.com. I second that. Seems straightforward and touts security/privacy of information. Leaking PII is always a risk online, however.<br /><br />I wouldn't underestimate the ability of twitter to grow a following either. You could easily use it to promote pieces written here, etc. Here is an article in which a Black Lives Matter activist about using digital tools for such things:<br /><br />http://www.theverge.com/a/verge-2021/deray-mckesson-interview-black-lives-matter-digital-activism <br /><br />"the task must be made difficult, for only the difficult inspires the noble-hearted"Briannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-10067107949981184152016-11-30T15:24:31.342-05:002016-11-30T15:24:31.342-05:00I like that.
