Is there some kind of mutual aid matchmaking platform, preferably decentralized in some way?
Commercially run platforms do not qualify, nor do "you can technically do mutual aid here" platforms, I'm really looking for something with an ideological basis in mutual aid that actively encourages it.
Note that "mutual aid" here is not a euphemism for just "people asking for / offering money", I mean mutual aid in the broader sense, including doing stuff for people that they need
(I have nothing against financial mutual aid to be clear, but "sending the same dollar around fifty times among mostly-all-poor folks" is not a sustainable revolutionary strategy, even if in the short term it is certainly helpful)
@joepie91 i do think it can be a start. the goal should be to channel new funds in by offering products/services made that way
@serapath It can certainly be a start, I'm just trying to avoid recommendations of platforms whose idea of mutual aid starts *and ends* with sending money to others, because more is needed 🙂
@joepie91 agree
