50501 comes up on /all feed every so often, with new pictures of protests and rallies and so forth, but I never see information about upcoming events on there.

    It’s gotten worse, I won’t argue that. But basic stuff is still quite easy/straightforward to look up, and using search modifier tools is still incredibly useful in narrowing down results.

      Up to a point.

      And, when the kind of pricing protesting going on is against a fascist regime attempt, don’t you think that maybe guiding people n to avoid the corporate infrastructure is a wise thing?

      I mean, that and telling people to Google it instead of using an appropriate forum is douchey as hell

        There are other search engines than google. I never even mentioned Google specifically in my responses, that was the top comment. I used the generic term. VPNs and anonymizing extensions also exist. “Appropriate forums” can and are infiltrated/monitored by fascist government agents all the time, so don’t pretend like it’s that much safer unless you’re also taking safety precautions.

        Edit: I will add that your best bet is finding a local group initially and going analog from there. But again, those aren’t immune to fascist spies, so I’d recommend learning how civil rights groups of the past/present reduce(d) their risk against infiltration/spying.
