[sudo-discuss] [Mesh] Fwd: Save the Omni Commons

Wed Dec 2 17:00:35 PST 2020

Thank you, Alessandro !

If Sudo Room & Sudo Mesh folks want to tweet support for Omni Commons on
Twitter, I can retweet on OC twitter.
I plan to retweet the shit out of pro- Save the Omni Commons messages (Dave
style.)

Already did for Counter Culture Labs tweet !

If folks have recommendations for wording the tweet, I am all eyes. I am
all about participatory social outreach.

Same thing for IG social media, for messaging. Silver has been nailing that
down really strongly !

Also Facebook, Myspace, Mastodon, homing pigeon messenger, and telekinesis
works well too.
