When engaging in digital activism, it is important to utilize multiple platforms to broadcast your message, use creative and captivating imagery to get people’s attention and keep them engaged in the conversation, strategically time posts for maximum engagement and response from target audiences, focus on creating safe spaces where vulnerable populations can freely voice their opinions without judgement, utilize data-driven strategies targeting both individuals and large corporations that are actively involved in upholding the current system. Additionally building partnerships with other organizations or influencers with similar missions that can vouch for each other’s credibility. This can be a combination of local initiatives as well as global campaigns aimed at affecting change on an international level.

One strategy to effectively spread messages of social conflict is to utilize echo chambers. Echo chambers are communities or groups of people online who share similar values, beliefs and interests. They provide a platform for individuals to connect with and be exposed to different perspectives, thereby increasing the reach of the message exponentially.

It is also important to use multiple platforms in order to create a broad reaching effect - this can include everything from blogging, commenting on forums or discussion boards, vlogging and creating engaging content on YouTube. Additionally running social media campaigns targeting politicians and thought leaders can help generate attention from traditional media outlets which can put pressure on public officials and institutions in charge. This may prompt greater introspection with respect to established public opinion thereby opening up further debate for larger-scale systemic change.

Utilizing digital communication methods allows messages of social conflict to be widely spread rapidly without too much interference from governments, making it easier for citizens in countries around the world access information that challenges popular opinion, therefore providing openings which long term focused activism can ultimately leverage for real tangible political change.  We have recently seen some successful cases of this happening during various uprising across several nations that managed bring about large-scale reform almost overnight which otherwise wouldn't have had momentum behind it if not for digital communication being utilized by activists before the outbreaks of these events – further demonstrating how effective echo chamber networks powered by digital comms are becoming in driving long-term systemic change globally.
