@MishaVelthuis @nostupidquestions There are quite a few of us here but the network effects are real and much of the people are stuck in because their social circle ain't here.

Maybe it would help if there was a clear rallying point?
For #Colombia https://col.social managed seems to have worked quite well for that.
But I guess it doesn't have to be a server. It could also be a hashtag?
Like #FedIndia ?
If necessary followed through a relay, like #FediBuz to bring together different servers?
By following (and adding a notification alert for) https://relay.fedi.buzz/tag/fedindia for example?

@bacteriostat @nostupidquestions @admin If the #CockroachJantaParty would tell it's millions of Instagram followers to move to some still-to-be-set-up setup server like @cockroach.org if necessary with a VPN to circumvent government censorship, that would be a great way to bring India into the Fediverse...

That would no doubt be awesome but keep in mind that the Cockroach party is just 2 months old (even less). They don't even have a proper handle and channel of communication.
It is crazy what they have achieved but they are far from being organized.
They have a bigger fish (education minister) to fry right now as they are still out on the streets.

@bacteriostat @nostupidquestions @joenepraat @aiquiral Yeah I understand. Don't want to distract them from more immediate challenges.
Then again, never waste a good crisis. Maybe now that communication strategies are still being developed, now is the right moment to convince people to at least ALSO be here?

Streets are more important anyway. But if you do need a digital space we’d love to have you!

@bacteriostat @nostupidquestions @admin @joenepraat I'd be happy to help set it up. Anyway to reach out to them? 🤪 @aiquiral ?

@MishaVelthuis Creating a Mastodon server is not that difficult (few hours work), but are you going to moderate it?
