  • most of these people have been indoctrinated into thinking anarchists are violent, dangerous weirdos and don’t have any interest in our new society.

    People depending on the help of others (as those refugees would) tend to be surprisingly open-minded and would likely come to see the advantages of such a society rather quickly. It is usually only when they are met with hostility and cramped into refugee camps that they turn on the country hosting them. And in general anarchists are well accustomed having to deal with people with all sorts of differing ideas, so they will likely work out something that is acceptable for everyone.





  • Well… there has been some recent museings about something like that from the CEO of Element, but it would effectively cause a two class federation where some servers can not work independently of others (likely in reality mainly servers running on EMS infrastructure, a bit like how in Bluesky you can’t really work fully independent of their infra, and yes Bluesky was explicitly mentioned as inspiration for that idea).

    Having those two options fully independent would basically mean reimplenting xmpp in json as an incompatible alternative protocol and that would make little sense IMHO.

    While Synapse isn’t great, the problem is that the Matrix protocol is over-designed for a very specific purpose (distributed rooms), that comes with a severe performance penalty but most people don’t actually need this for chat.

    Its one of these cases of a neat idea on paper, but ultimately a solution looking for a problem.

    That said, Matrix isn’t that bad overall, but there are better options like XMPP.





  • We are discussing in a thread about the political compass, so even strictly going by the meaning of the word “centrist” it wouldn’t put you only on one axis in the authoritarian half.

    But in reality a “centrist” is usually referring to someone in support of the status quo or at least someone that doesn’t want to rock the boat too hard. Where exactly that person falls in the ideological spectrum can vary widely between countries, and even if they are not outright conservative in their expressed opinions, the very act of preferring the status quo makes them structurally conservative.


  • There was Wolfballs, which started out as a right-leaning free speech instance, but was obviously quickly overrun by trolls and fascists, so everyone defederated them and the owner decided to shut it down. As a result all the problematic people including the mods from Wolfballs moved to Exploding-Heads, which welcomed them with open arms despite also not being originally a pure right-wing instance. And yeah obviously they got defederated as well then…




  • “Libertarian socialism” is quite a bit broader than “ancom” and there are plenty of anarcho-individualists that out of individualist considerations consider themselves socialists.

    Lets take piracy as an example:

    An ancom would likely argue that this is bad under the current circumstances and that the creators should be fairly compensated or rather have their needs covered so that they are free to make stuff. However they would likely also concede that piracy from large corporations would be somewhat ok as large privately owned corporations are a bad thing and thus don’t deserve any protection.

    An anarcho-individualist would be likely in favour of piracy even under the current circumstances as it usually benefits the person pirating much more than it hurts the people working on the digital media, but maybe concede that you shouldn’t do it for small individual creators trying to make a living.

    So you see that the final outcome isn’t that different, but an ancom would likely shy away from openly promoting piracy of digital media.


  • Nein da hast du was falsch Verstanden. Die Linke ist kategorisch gegen Waffenlieferungen. Aber die Linke ist halt auch eine <10% Partei in einem Deutschland in dem alle anderen relevanten Parteien für eine Rüstungsindustrie mit Exportfokus sind, daher ist man da realistisch was die Einflussmöglichkeiten der Linke auch in einer Koalition wäre. Daher versucht man realistische Kompromisse möglich zu machen. Das ist das Gegenteil von Verlogen sondern viel realistischer als was andere Parteien so von sich geben. Wenn dir diese klare Position nicht gefällt ist das ja ok, aber auch ein Stückweit eine Verweigerung der Realität von deiner Seite aus.

    Edit: Im übringen heißt gegen Waffenlieferungen zu sein nicht das man Pazifist ist. Das heißt nur das man gegen den Export von Waffen in andere Länder ist.

    Edit2: Vielleicht verstehst du es mit einem Beispiel. Jemand kann kategorisch Vegetarier sein aber z.B. bei einem Familienessen akzeptieren das es auch Fleisch auf dem Tisch gibt, dennoch konsequent dafür einstehen das es nicht nur Fleischgerichte gibt. Deine Position wäre vergleichbar mir dem Vegetarier vorzuwerfen das er sich mal nicht so anstellen soll und ein bisschen Fleisch in seinem Essen wäre ja realistischer 🙄 (Und bevor es hier wieder zu Misverständnissen kommt, ich meine einen Vegetarier der das aus realistischen Überlegungen heraus macht wie z.B. den Klimawandel, und nicht einen “fundamental” Veganer).
