So this happened: The organizer of the “Freedom Convoy 2.0” in Canada says he’s cancelling the event because someone “infiltrated and sabotaged my entire team, my web platform and all of my data.”

In case you’re not familiar, the convoy is a far-right movement that grew out of Canada’s anti-vax and Yellow Vest movements.

@rvawonk hijacked or incompetence, we are happy their harmful shindig is cancelled.

@Kimmi1965 @rvawonk We had the same response, sort of, from a total different place on the planet 😀

@rik okay you got me, or my insane curiosity. How are we on different planets?
It’s okay if we come from different ideologies, as long as we agree on civility and begin with center of shared truths.

@Kimmi1965 We are on the same planet. I did mean I live in Amsterdam the Netherlands, you in the US (I guess).
Agree 100% with: "It’s okay if we come from different ideologies, as long as we agree on civility and begin with center of shared truths." That might be the only ideology that matters.

@rik thank you. You are correct, USA is my home.
Working on understanding perspective of global communication versus messy US situation. Imagine we have similar ideology with shared truths as a starting place.
Because USA is a target in informational warfare, shared truth is not a given and customarily women are heavily denigrated and trolled. Dipping my toe into water and moving cautiously on Mastadon after moving from bird platform.
