I am starting to organize w/ my friends IRL, but we also need to communicate with each other and other people further away (that we cant meet regularly). Since a year ago i got interested in privacy oriented messagging apps such as Briar or DeltaChat, we have been using the latter. But i still am unsure if it is safe to organize and communicate to other people my thoughts on how to organize better and grow as a movement. I know there have been CIA operations to infiltrate leftist movements (like COINTELPRO or more recent stuff like the 5 police officers of antiterrorism found in 5 different Autorganized Universitary Collectives here in Italy). I know that there also could be spyware on phones and idk if the app can really make communications safe. Is writing a document on this computer (even with GNU/Linux) safe? sorry if i couldn’t explain myself. sorry for the disturb.

thanks alot :3

P.S (edit)

By “organizing” i mean sharing to people online the idea and direction including plans as to the growth and work of the organization.

    soberana is a collective organizing mostly online and on discord (big lol at this one tbh)

    they mostly organize influence campaigns online, a lot of mutual help that can be done online (incl even mental health care and lawyer services with their organized professionals), direct action coordinating with other established irl orgs and some more. not to mention the actual online communities they helped foster.

    they correctly see the internet as the new way public discourse happens and a great tool for organizing, with a much lower barrier of entry. they are actually sizeable, effective and a part of why communism is breaching actual mainstream discourse in brazil.

    honestly i think lemmy tankies should be doing that to some level since we’re all here. we’re wasting mad potential for sure.
