Ich finde es ja okay wenn Menschen einen wie auch immer formalisierten Weg nutzen wollen um ihre Beziehungen zu managen, aber immer so zu tun als würden alle anderen das gar nicht machen oder wären komplett für sich alleine,das ist schon eine ziemliche Unart der aktuellen Vertreter*innen des klassischen Anarchismus.

Its the anti deutsche special

Part of me feels like that sanitized Israel-Palestine community exists to deflect criticism of their Zionism elsewhere on the instance.

I felt the mod and most active member of that community was doing lot of work innregards of information and education. I am pretty sure they did that on their own accord and bases on their own anti colonial / imperial beliefs.

I like the thought of the reading group, but how does it work? I never see any discussion, any questions related to the content or any other activity.

Could you maybe share your experience doing it?

For a time I was pretty active on feddit, as it hosts the most active german speaking communities. The !dach@feddit.org community doesnt allow any posts about Palestine & Israel. As the moderation team takes a both sides / liberal zionism standpoint, they are unable to effectively moderate the discussions surrounding that topic. There is a com !nahost@feddit.org which hosts most posts/discussions about that currently, but I think its less active right now.

I don’t have time to deal with drama on the fediverse

X doubt

Also getting asked to do something is really not included in my definition of powertripping. BPR

💯

Could you point to the “valid opinions” you mention? I can’t really find them…

Pointing out that a person was an annoying shithead in a previous conversation about a related topic (and tries to do so again) shouldnt get you banned. But the way you worded it in the removed comment really makes it easy to misunderstand your intent. Did you try to talk about this with the mods before posting here? I think it could be genuine mistake / misunderstanding of the situation.

Funny enough the best way is to lead by example. I believe most if not all people can feel the difference when the dont just follow someone, but actually participate in something as an “equal” (whatever that actualle means in that specific situation).

This often happen organically in situations like disasters when people have to take responsibility and make decisions spontaneously jnstead of waiting for authorities to help them. In not so pressing situations its something that could be facilitated, but is pretty hard to do consistently.

Especially in conversations you might bring up examples on how leaderless / non hieraechical projects were successful and even bring up things in their own lives where they might already have leaderless / non hieraechical ways of doing things like friend / hobby groups etc.

Maybe it can be one day but right now it’s 100% not production-grade software.

Why should we only use “production-grade software” software on the Fediverse? Isnt the beauty that we can use all kind of software as long as it interacts decently via the relevant protocols?

Also I am already using Lemmy, which is pretty known for its opinionated devs. This does not seem to be anything that would stop, especially when I can actually read the code as its in a language I can atleast understand somewhat

part a smear campaign by Hexbear

Somehow they are pretty good as this. I remember them trying to paint lemmy.blahaj.zone as a transphobic instance.

I also wanted to ask the same, so thanks for bringing it up.

Sounds like this group is so over concerned with ideological purity testing that they’re never actually going to do anything useful and are thus actually just cosplaying.

I dont see that tbh, imo you are making a lot of assumptions here. There still as a decent amount of practice and somehow its easier for then to build coalitions with non-anarchist groups like unions, tenant initiatives etc.

Had OP even used half of the effort you went trough playing devils advocate for their comment, I am pretty sure their comment would have stayed up.

Here is a summary on “debanking” happening in Germany the last few years. People use the word debanking when banks close accounts of organizations/groups because of their political activity.

Sometimes actions have consequences. And getting banned in one of dozens of anarchist communities on the Fediverse is really not a big consequence.

Small tip: If you truly believe that what you did was homophobic, dont put “homophobia” in quotes. This makes it seem like you are not actually using your own words and are actually not meaning it.

you could check your modlog: https://slrpnk.net/modlog?userId=23146731

You do not receive notifications for moderator actions on your post/comments/account, but you can regularly check this page.

(also I think lemmy should implement moderation notifications)

Freedom of association is always a two way street. If one party removes their consent, than there is no free and consensual association possible.
