This is terrible advice. Any agency that does this would be bankrupt within two years.

This is how an agency goes bankrupt.

Oh I see you already got this one.

I open up my wallet and it's full of blood, good grief.

I can't click their posts, but just browsing, I can say they are not aligned with fascists. www.instagram.com/revokeiceper...

I can't answer that, unfortunately. Only your actions would be able to. But if you contact anyone with hostility or a preconceived notion, it is likely not going to be a productive, amiable conversation where understanding and community building are the objectives.

The important thing is getting ICE out of Portland and protecting the victims of ethnic cleansing. I wish you luck in solidarity.

Then it's a good thing you and I are not working in an affinity group. I wish you the best of luck in whatever IRL organizing you engage in. If you are already, you are likely working with people whose values do not perfectly align with yours. That is the trade-off of community.

I'm not sure if I should tell you what to do because I do not understand your objectives. You seem interested in contacting them directly. I would imagine whatever motivated this conversation would be the inspiration you would use to write them.

Why would our values align perfectly? You and I are unique individuals with our own backgrounds. Just like investing in social posts to target volunteers, if it comes to it, I would give Ruger money to invest in the correct ammunition.

You don't actually know it's inactive until you try to DM them.

I don't know. I am not a member of their communications team. But if my goal were to increase volunteering to kick the ethnic cleansing goon squad kidnapping my neighbors, I would certainly invest a few pennies to target my messages and strategies to receptive people.

Well, on Instagram, they have 3,689 followers vs 81 on this platform. With Instagram, they can spend a few cents to boost their posts to target the entire Portland area. They can even segment their outreach based on marketing criteria, specifically targeting people more likely to volunteer.

Right, but there is an email address. If you don't want to use your personal email, you can always create an anonymous one.

If a volunteer staff has only a few hours a week to devote to social, the smart bet is to engage with the platform that has the greatest impact. Bluesky is not that place. Only weirdo's like me actually got rid of all other social media except Bluesky. I wish it were different, but it's not.
