In order to organize, we need to agitate, educate, and inoculate first.Online, the most we can do is agitate and perhaps educate.To inoculate and organize, we have to get offline.

@bobdobberson I think it's a problem that is particular to social networks like Mastodon.I don't think that most people on mastodon really know what they do want, what they're looking for, and it's much easier to react and decide definitively what we *don't* want.Moving towards good is much harder than moving away from bad.

@bobdobberson Yeah, I can definitely appreciate that perspective. Spreading knowledge and understanding is definitely important.What tools and methods do you use to ensure that you're understood in what you're saying, and that the other person is ready to hear it?
