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!

That's really insightful and interesting, thanks! I do like the idea of simple reporting of posts rather than downvoting.

Hopefully as a Fediverse instance of radical info hubs forms, these discussions can be the topics to tackle. That'd be a wonderful "problem" to have! I'm hoping more people step forward expressing interest in the concept and willing to help make it happen.
