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.

Building a radical mutual aid info network using the Fediverse (www.mediaactivist.com)

Some of you (especially in the UK) might have read a piece in Freedom News about using the French Reseau Mutu (Mutu Network) as a model for the possibility of a connected series of sites for radical information and mutual aid in different areas. Imagine it: instead of Facebook groups or Twitter profiles (eurgh) or disparate, disconnected "silos" of info or walled gardens, a one-stop space for anti-capitalist, anti-fascist news and shared updates about local actions, events, protests, meetings, campaigns, resources, and more. Each region having its own online "community."

I've arrived at the conclusion that the Fediverse, even specifically Lemmy and especially Beehaw, offer an example of the template that this could be built on. If anyone's interested in the idea, let me know.

Apologies for that "media activist manifesto" being so very long, but it took a lot of research to argue that this is a good opportunity for anarchist media/info!

What do you think about kolektiva.social for example?

[–] MediaActivist@beehaw.org 4 points 11 months ago

I was on kolektiva.social for a while (and still use their sibling instance on PeerTube, kolektiva.media), but found they became too unwieldy to effectively moderate, and unfortunately hit headlines with their compromised server data. I'm now on todon.eu.

I think Mastodon is a fantastic and important system of communication. However, I think a Mutu-style network would rely on something similar to Lemmy/Beehaw.
