Anarchism

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.

so r/anarchism does not endorse lemmy (feddit.de)

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

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.

[–] elbarto777@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

Yeah, it wasn't my intention to put these two incidents on the same level. Judt wanted to share the two cases I know where Oprn Source devs actually killed people.
