If your federal government cut internet access to your whole town then where in your town would you think that "the people" would get together to protest ?

If the town is Bielefeld in Germany, then at the Old Market square. But that city doesn’t exist.

db2@lemmy.world on 08 Dec 20:56 collapse

It didn’t exist until Last Thursday.

Our Last Thursday or Last Thursday Ever?

If you are including cell phone apps in that, than yes.

You’d meet at “yes”?

Yes. I would meet at “yes”, as well.

The city centre - UK and most European cities are concentric and grew outwards from a defined centre. Most protests generally start or finish in them.

Yeah I was gonna say: the town square? Seems kinda obvious since it’s usually one of the most crowded places and easy to reach for everyone. Also that’s kind of its purpose: gatherings

lovely_reader@lemmy.world on 09 Dec 02:54 collapse

It’s generally tougher in the U.S. because a lot of our smaller cities were founded post-automobile, post-suburbia and post-shopping malls, and as such they don’t have town centers. At best they might have a main retail corridor.

In that case you protest from home with your sniper rifle 😂 (j/k)

My ‘town’ is a rural cul-de-sac of about 25 houses, so I’d say at my place. And by ‘protest’ I mean we’d eat, drink, and relish not being online for a bit.

  • But Diddlydee, I need to pay my mortgage tomorrow!
  • You can go in person. stands and looks across the street The bank there seems to be still in the same place.

City hall seems like the obvious answer.

Daley Plaza, same place we assemble for everything else.

Access like internet and cellphone signal? If that’s happening, it probably means my little town is about to turn into a movie plot line and I am getting the fuck out of dodge.

In my city it would be outside the Library, which happens to be “the town square”, on the main street.

Is this a Palantir doxing thread?

tubthumper@lemmy.world on 09 Dec 05:29 collapse

Would not be surprised in the least.

Now folks, let’s remember…

We DO get to know new friends and neighbors with relatively open discussion on lemmy.

We DON’T share intimate details of planned resistance, identifying yourself and/or outing your town. That’s just… Just don’t do that.

This is where I chime in with a haven’t you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door, nooo

It’s much better to ^shutyertraps^

Why would we protest? We’d be free!
