Advancing Technological Empowerment for Radical Faerie Communities

ATERFC - Advancing Technological Empowerment for Radical Faerie Communities

This is a repository collecting all efforts, dedicated to the ATERFC Cause, which is to support Radical Faerie Communities in using technology to empower themselves.

Background

Radical Faerie Communities are often diverse in all aspects, especially in their members capability to use technology for empowerment. Not rarely, there is even a narrative of seeing technology as counterproductive to faerie space. This results in some tangible symptoms:

• inaccessible Websites
• convoluted registration processes for gatherings
• intransparent, innaccessible organisational processes
• stagnating progress in organising activities
• volatility in contribution from individuals and organisations
• misunderstanding about indications and dedications of their shared systems
• inaccessible organisational structures
• generational gaps

Many faeries believe that technology can help to either releive these problems or decrease their severity or solve the underlying problems that lead to these symptoms.

How the ATERFC wants to help

Faeries dedicated to this cause want to help radical faerie communities to empower themselves with technologies. This advancement can happen in several ways:

• Informing about solutions
• Demystifying certain concepts and misunderstandings about technology
• Providing useful educational content
• Helping in setting up services (like buying a domain, or discord / slack channel)
• Holding Workshops at gatherings
• Prodiving Webspace, Subdomains or Mailspace for communities
