I think people would be best served if they stopped thinking of online platforms as being useless for accomplishing political goals and instead understanding that just as is the case offline, online political actions encompass a wide range of efficacy, everything from the essentially useless to incredibly effective. It's just not the case that there's a dichotomy between effectiveness dictated by how "online" a person is. People who operate primarily online can mobilize massive political action and people who never touch a computer can engage in entirely ineffective political gestures that accomplish nothing. We have to judge political actions by their results, not their medium of operation.
And of course some types of actions are more suited to an online medium than others, but in the modern day, even offline actions are often coordinated online. And so instead of dismissing the internet as a platform for activism, we should instead be asking how we can more effectively utilize it. -

Poynter: A new pope with a social media presence. “Pope Leo XIV is the 267th pope in the church’s history. But there is something different about him from most of the popes who came before him: a presence on social media. Though his posts were rare and mostly retweets or links to stories, then-Cardinal Robert Prevost is occasionally active on social media channels.”
