Debates on anti-militarism continue to shake the anarchist movement in the western part of the world. Often in these debates we can see some organisations from Ukraine or Russia show support for the ‘no war but class war’ position. Three and a half years since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the anarchist movement is extremely divided. Previous strategies of ‘listening to local voices’ have mostly failed for those who were not interested in the first place. With more scandals certain to come in the future, it’s important to understand how we came to this point.
Maybe I misread Lemmy’s history. Because if that’s the case, I choose the wrong network, again.
I’m really going to host my own jabber instance, huh. SIP would take me soooo long.
Lemmy is a single server software in a threadiverse. Piefed, mbin/kbin, NodeBB…
Which one’s most anarchist?
I’m prob. gonna jabberfy. Threadiverse supports groupθnk, which is stupidely dangerous.
The point of Lemmy is that anyone can make their own instance.
If a game launched with private servers would you boycott the entire thing because a Nazi runs one?
The only problem with the Lemmy anarchist instances, of which there are plenty, is they keep believing Hexbear when they promise to behave so you have to block the instance manually.
Honestly, they are less hassle than the libs nowadays.
Hexbear is defederated on slrpnk.net precisely because their (the Hexbear admins’) promises are not credible. If they ever manage to change the toxic culture of their userbase we are happy to revisit that, but so far I don’t see any indication of that.
The issue I’m realizing now is that the game right now breeds Nazis.
And I need to make a protocol/network that encourages anarchist praxis.
It’ll have to be p2p for sure.
Evidence kinda suggest the opposite, see Nostr, SimpleX and the like.
Although I agree that many design decisions in Lemmy reflect either the developers’ hierachical preferences or are strait up copies of the hierachical design of Reddit. The Fediverse can certainly do better than that.
Hmmmm🤔 Now I have more to think about.
With federated media like Lemmy, Piefed, etc, you will have a large cross section of ideologies, with some being more catered toward Anarchists than others depending on the specific instance.
https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/ and https://slrpnk.net/ likely have the highest percentage of Anarchists.
Slrpnk represent!
