Hello UK #GreenParty members on here: I would really like the Green Party to set up on #Mastodon.

@aaron maybe, i donโt know! Good point.
@pvonhellermannn
I feel as if I could devise a use case: here are the managed service providers (and cost), here is the potential reach, etc I could put a good case to them.That said there's nothing stopping me actually doing that, so I'll get started on it this weekend then reach out to my local party.

@Sarahw ah, thank you, thatโs interesting. They must have decided against it (like 10,000s of others who joined and gave up). Maybe there should be a new mastodon drive one of these days. Some of the off-putting functionality issues have been addressed by now, though by no means all.
@pvonhellermannn
It's such a shame when people don't stick with it.
I understand there isn't the reach of other social media but that doesn't mean the message doesn't get through.
People are just so accustomed to an algorithm it feels like they're speaking into a void here. -
Hello UK #GreenParty members on here: I would really like the Green Party to set up on #Mastodon. Our local party (closed down after last election by somewhat erratic unilateral decision) has just reestablished and it is all X, FB and Insta. I have suggested Mastodon but noone knows it. I will work on it locally but is there any way to take it to the top somehow? Can we get together on here to write an email? Any suggestions welcome. #UKpolitics

@aaron oh thatโs amazing! Please keep me updated!

Yes, thank you! Learned that this morning! Brilliant. Others have also pointed me to @greenpartyni and @WestNorthantsGreens - i hadnโt realised. Will see what we can do locally (in #Eastbourne). And also what can be done to establish Mastodon more in #GreenParty as a whole. Though aware that v clearly not the first to come up with this idea.
