Soft Launch

Maintenance mode on the website is deactivated moving forward, as it’s blocking several Fediverse features we hope to get working in the near term. This effectively soft launches RFAN to the world. We will continue to compile resources on this website, check out my Current Launch Plan post as it’s still representative of what we’ll be focusing on to get started!

Current Launch Plan

We’re aiming for a public site deployment on February 1st. On this date, all updating of the site will just be live and ongoing. Overall I think we’re running into more problems with portions of the site disabled for maintenance, especially with our Fediverse connection. Here’s some of what we’ll be prioritizing leading up to February:

  • Building out RF’s Platform, in recent days and in recent discussions we’ve figured out that making this site a resource would be the most immediate impactful thing to get done. I aim for this site to be people’s go-to for explaining current issues. I think we’ve all run into the problem of “I wish I could effectively explain [example]” to a friend or a family member.
  • Various site functionality fixes, we have a few bugs we’re trying to buff out. But they’re bugs people can tolerate. I’ve added a new page listing bugs we’re aware of. We also need to get more people on the site to find out if there’s bugs we haven’t run into yet.
  • Creating a channel on the RF Hub that relays our Fediverse posts into our Discord.
  • Creating some RFAN specific graphics, and communicating these out to the RF network of Discord servers as internal recruitment.
  • Getting more people signed up!

Another Fediverse Bug Fix

Looks like media that was uploaded to the site was also being pushed to Mastodon. This has been deactivated.

Site Personnel Launch

1/20/25:

Updated 1/22/25

I am now actively recruiting membership to the site, if you’re reading this, welcome! The RFAN site is not live yet, but will be deployed after an extensive update to the WordPress registration form that’s in progress [1/22/25, now completed!]. But we are ready to start adding content. The following content libraries we’re looking to get started on:

  • Create lists for brands and services to avoid who donated to Republican/MAGA candidates and causes. Some documentation like this exists online already, but we should have the most up to date lists people can share with their friends. We should also list brands and services that help progressive causes. This could be one page or multiple pages.
  • Blogroll/wiki for federated, open-source, and decentralized social networks and online resources.
  • Lists of progressive candidates, organizations, and non-profits.
  • Documentation on major political issues, debunking common MAGA propaganda/Project 2025 policy. Ideally, we start to build an actual Platform for the RF.

To start, I’d like to ask all new members to post an introduction to the main timeline. Just a little about yourself, your background with activism if you have any you’d like to share, and which specific issues are important you/what you’d like to work on the most.

Ideas for types of Action…

Ideas for types of Action Content:

  • Weekly Action, something bite sized anybody can do, updated weekly with a new objective via the “Assignment” page.
  • List of retailers, shops, etc, that support progressive agendas. Lists of the same that supported Project 2025 as documentation.
  • Contact information/how-to page for sending correspondence for local, state, and federal levels.
  • Effective communication/talking points on specific policies wiki, for both learning about topics and getting better at communicating topics.
  • Debate Posts, posts where a controversial topic can be discussed to establish a firmer position for the community.

Ideas for Utility Content:

  • Inline HTML tutorial page for using this site.
  • Changing Gravatar/WordPress profile info tutorial page.
  • Privacy Policy page specific to this site.

More to be added.

Debating on adjusting this project’s…

Debating on adjusting this project’s name and operational structure to better convey it. Instead of it being a general membership resource, classifying this as a Division would more appropriately allow this space to focus on specific priorities without redefining the entirety of the Rebel Federation at large– and it still gets to be a membership resource as a Division.

I just think this would work best with people who specifically understand what collectively organizing is and are electing to contribute to it. Over time this could become a more general resource for members.

One tentative name could be:

Rebel Action Network – RAN
action.rebelfederation.com
