apparently r/anarchism has been in lockdown for quite some time now and they link to their own reddit alternative called raddle.me, which is not fediverse integrated, sadly. they also have a long list of alternatives, but lemmy isn’t one of them

That seems to be the case because lemmy’s main dev is a ml. (edit: meaning 'marxist leninist, apologies for not being clear on that)

It’s somewhat sad for me because the whole philosophy of the fediverse is anarchistic in its core, it is how it should be, it is how the internet should work. So I wondered - what are the biggest anarchistic communities in the fediverse so far?

edit: here some context I found on raddle: 1 2 3

wouldn’t the best take to be to just use the tankie’s labor for the betterment of all mankind? Fuck who makes the shit if it’s FOSS.

Personally I think the decentralized solution is some sort of fake-central website that many people can host part of, no one having full control of any one community. kind of like bittorrent in that you have the one torrent file, but the source of the content is pulled from many locations. You could definitely have redunancy in case one server goes down at any time, but not as much as BT where every seeder needs the whole source. spread it all out. take 100 servers connected to the project, split the content into sections, and then layer the redundancy all over so no two servers have the same cache but also that nothing is only on a single server.

I wish I was smart enough to code or even explain this idea better. :( at the very least I hope I inspire someone.

sounds interesting, but I can’t quite follow haha I think the way the fediverse works now is a good balance between individual freedom and feasibility in terms of moderation/hosting

Hm. I don’t know. If a serial kitten torturer amd killer made Foss software, I’d stay the fuck away.

I don’t quite agree. Likewise there would be no point in torning down the infrastructure developed by fascists/colonizers - it would make a lot more sense to repurpose it for the general good.

You got a point - aa long as the infrastructure is a fork and not being currently maintained by the cat killer.

The developer of Reiser.fs, Hans Reiser killed his wife and currently is imprisoned as a convicted murderer

The maintainer and developer of core-js served a 19-month prison sentence for killing two people in a traffic accident.

Probably not fair to mention the core-js developer in the same context as Reiser. The way he explains it, he wasn’t at fault in that accident, and the Russian legal system is just messed up. His account here: https://github.com/zloirock/core-js/blob/master/docs/2023-02-14-so-whats-next.md#accident

Anarchism

!anarchism@lemmy.ml

Create post

Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!

Rules:

  1. Be respectful
  2. Don’t be a nazi
  3. Argue about the point and not the person
  4. This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.
