In the event of a shutdown.. (self.Anarchism)

negroyverdeAnarcho-Mad-Max[M] が 投稿 - announcement

I don't think it is likely, but due to the relentless shutdown of leftist subs and the obvious pro-authoritarian bias of the admins, I think it is worth establishing a rendezvous point elsewhere. This community is too large to simply abandon, and it seems to have been reasonably healthy lately compared to years past. There is more discussion that is high quality, less drama, overall - a community worth preserving.

I propose that that rendezvous point be /anarcho/ on fullchan. It is basically a dead board right now with few if any daily users, the format is very open, and though dealing with brigading from /pol/ would be a reality, issues with the site's administration would be far less likely (given that /leftypol/ is actually reasonably popular lately on fullchan).

There are a lot of reasons not to go to 8chan, but most of those seem to be outweighed by the fact that there are not particularly successful anarchist boards elsewhere - especially not ones that are basically blank slates to be squatted.

Any other propositions, post 'em here. Figured I'd sticky this for a few days.

(ALSO: Worth discussing - should we begin doing IRL, strictly-legal-activity /r/anarchism meet ups regionally throughout the US and the world? I think this would be another way to add redundancy to our efforts to have alternatives, AND make us stronger as a community. Another traveler community online I am a part of does a yearly party, and it was one of the most incredible things ever. Was wonderful to put faces to the names.)

To the two above (and others interested)... PLEASE do this! it's about friggin time. But also try to avoid as much JS and Flash as possible, if not completely. Having an Onion mirror site would be awesome too, if avoiding the servers that host drugs or child porn sites.

I think the Reddit formula is a good one. Even though it could be improved with live chats (that aren't a difficult thing to do at all), and private groups of interest for a bit more online security.

[–]OldWoband Green Syndicalist 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I started with Linux when it still used Minix's filesystem and 64MB maximum partition size. Given my druthers I'd take CentOS 7 running under xen, since that's an ideal setup for running apps under Docker (good for process isolation, backups and mirroring), but I know how hard it is to find a xen VM. I'm willing to work with CentOS, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu Server, or any of the other common flavors under whatever VM you happen to have.

A few months ago, while looking over the bleak wasteland that is available domain names, I saw that syndicalist.net was available, and snagged it before a squatter could, without a clear and immediate plan for using it. It's not perfect for a broad community of anarchists and other leftists, many of whom won't be syndicalists, but I think we could do worse.

We wouldn't even need to start from scratch, Reddit itself is open source so we could spin up our own instance of it.

[–]gmKeram 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I thought about it but in my opinion Reddit has

  1. too many features unneeded for our purposes (unneeded maintaining needed) and

  2. is missing useful features like private groups (useful for planning without giving information to state authorities etc)

[–]idboehman 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Understandable, though it could still be useful as a base to fork from. Unneeded features could be stripped out and new features added, such as private groups. Also what kind of maintenance does a Reddit instance require? Like database maintenance or what? I'm not familiar with admining it.

Or we could look at something like Diaspora, another open source social network.

[–]gmKeram 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Maintaining the running instance isn't the main problem but the Reddit source code isn't as well documented as it could be. Adding features which involve deeper changes in the codebase won't be easy in my eyes.

Decentralisation while using a synchronised database or rethinking the hierarchical administration structure are such changes but would be helpful.

I really appreciate an alternative. I've been a major lurker (mostly because of anxiety and cynical issues) but it's good to see that you guys are preparing for an alternative. Reddit has been grossing me out for a while lately and to be honest it's the anarchism and socialist community that has been keeping me coming here. I find it absurd that the admins are putting more attention to banning left leaning subs as opposed to the right leaning ones, but considering the demographics of this website, I can't say I'm all that surprised that they'd do this. It's depressing of course, but it's expected with the way shit has trended in the past.. I mean can we really be surprised that a conglomerate of a corporation would crack down on leftists?

[–]negroyverdeAnarcho-Mad-Max[S] 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (5子コメント)

Right. It's some of what pushed /r/debateacommunist out. If you go to their sub now it is just a message on why they shut down. Shame - that place was my alternative to college! But they left for a good reason.

[–]ArrMartQUESTION AUTHORITY 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (0子コメント)

With the obvious flaws in liberalism, plus the constant alienation I feel, this is honestly one of the only communities I have where I feel comfortable and like I actually have some people behind me in this fucked up world. I hate to see the anti left message that's being put out, but whatever. I consider myself lucky to be comfortable with questioning the system, but nobody I know is willing to see it from my view. It sucks, but I at least have a brother who has been propagating me my whole life I'm honestly so grateful for him. He's a part of a anarchist commune down south, and is probably a major cause of my radicalization, even if he doesn't realize it.

[–]chinggis_khan27 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (3子コメント)

One major problem with 8chan is it's owner, Fredrick Brennan. Using the site allows him access to information he can use to dox us, which is something he's done in the past when progressives have made their presence known on the site.

[–]sailornasheed 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

He's gone, and has been for I think, a year at this point. The new guy is just your standard imageboard owner. He might sell your info to some corporation, but he won't use it for his own ends, because he has none. Of course, that's its own problem.

is it possible to sign up in ways that he'd only know the IP address and a throwaway email?

[–]MasterlessMan333 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

You don't really sign up since it's an anonymous image board. Anytime you access the site at all you're giving the owner at least some info about yourself. If Brennan suspects that leftists are organizing on 8chan, he could easily retaliate in some very nasty ways.

I have nothing against image boards, but I do have to question u/negroyverde calling 8chan "fullchan"... Really? Fullchan implies it's the superior 4chan. This is what right-wingers say because their gamergate generals got banned from /v/ and they migrated to 8chan, and also, moot was a jew or something, I don't really know. If you're not some kind of rightwinger who finds 4chan's /pol/ just a bit too left-wing for your liking, you could, you know, not call 8chan "fullchan", I mean...

To quote the board owner of /anarcho/ (referring to an announcement of 8chan possibly shutting down) :

I think it's kind of hilarious how they're not even trying to hide the fact anymore that 8chan is basically a stronghold for the alt-right. I mean, that fucking announcement links to Black Pidgeon Speaks - one of the many useless alt-right opinionstubers. He's got some videos on shit like how womens literally destroy nations (>implying this is a bad thing ;)).

I think you're reading into it far too deeply. 4chan sucks, 8chan sucks less, fullchan is what 8chan is called if you think 4chan sucks. They say it on /leftypol/ lol. I don't love 8chan, but I don't see any reason why they inherently produce problems, and I see no readymade alternative. There are other options, but they involve real humans getting together and doing real things in an organized fashion, and I've been around long enough to know that you only do this as a last resort.

For now I think we should all get used to Discord as a temporary meeting place. We need to make very real and intentional effort NOW about getting out own resources where we can dictate all of the rules and procedures.

Second, I think it is worth it to have people keeping a watch on The_Donald, /pol/, storefront or whatever else major reactionaries bust tonorganize and disseminate their information. The reality is that much or even most of their movement is online and considering that I think it's worth it to opsec the fuck up and infiltrate the same way they have us.

Third, regarding resources for setting up a new base of internet community, I have zero experience with creating websites, coding and other things like that. I can however contribute financial resources as I'm sure many others who can't directly create those places can help support and fund it.

Those that I "know" and is familiar interacting with me you should PM me so we can create loose networks so we don't lose what community we've cultivated.

[–]sailornasheed 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's probably better to just make our own chan. It's not the most expensive thing in the universe, especially if you keep it text-only, and it would solve a lot of these issues, without subjecting the userbase to the obscenity that is put forward on a daily basis, on 8chan.

I worked on this site for a while, and I'm still good friends with the founder. He is a political radical with some anarchist leanings. The goal was to make a self-governing online community. We created a communal bitcoin treasury so that all members become a partial owner, as well as some other features that allow the user base to propose and vote on rules.

I'm sure there's plenty of flaws, but it's certainly less authoritarian than reddit. If you're interested, I can talk to the founder and I'm positive he'd be willing to answer any questions himself. He's really open minded, he might even be willing to open source the code and let us work on it, or let us fork our own version.

Hi, I'm the owner of the 8chan /anarcho/ board. I was wondering why we suddenly were getting regular posts.

I just wanted to say that y'all are more than welcome to give /anarcho/ more traffic/content. I've been holding off on advertising the board anywhere for awhile now due to both not being sure whether or not it'd be worth it to possibly incite drama between my barely-alive board and other anarchist communities, and because I've been planning on creating an independent anarchist *chan for awhile now to get away from the reactionary cesspit that is 8chan. That will hopefully start happening in the coming months.

Unlike /leftypol/, I don't tolerate /pol/ shitposting or alt-left astroturfing. It's p comfy.

I agree. I would love a non shit large anarchist imageboard.

Do you think fullchan could handle a concerted attack? I'm not thinking so much rooting or DDoS (though that might happen), but I'd expect to have a thousand shitposters descending on the place.

[–]n1x_cyber-post-humanist-speculative-Nietzschean-nihilist 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

That's pretty much an unavoidable problem right now that can only be mitigated with proper moderation. It would possibly help to have an independent board without the limitations of 8chan's ownership system, but as soon as it got any attention, we'd need to bunker down and prepare to moderate very dilligently. Such is the political climate right now unfortunately.

DDoS'ing isn't really an issue on 8chan. The fascists aren't going to DDoS their home base.

Is there a discord meeting place? I haven't found anything so far and it would be a good idea to get a central place like that. Going onto a chan site is kind of sketch. Brigading by /pol/ would be annoying.

I like the idea of virtual squatting on another board. Brings out the lifestylist in me.

How will you have an anarchist forum without having a banhammer to swing indiscriminately at everybody you don't know IRL?

Ask the other mods.. I'm usually not more than a janitor, mod-wise.

So this is news to me. Could someone maybe explain this recent trend of left subs being shut down? I was only aware of the drama with /r/the_donald.

"(ALSO: Worth discussing - should we begin doing IRL, strictly-legal-activity /r/anarchism meet ups regionally throughout the US and the world? I think this would be another way to add redundancy to our efforts to have alternatives, AND make us stronger as a community. Another traveler community online I am a part of does a yearly party, and it was one of the most incredible things ever. Was wonderful to put faces to the names.)"

as far as local stuff goes, i think limiting it to reddit users would be selling ourselves short. i was just at a meeting the other night and i'm pretty sure i was the only person there with a reddit account.

although i'm in a major city and something like reddit might be more of an important lifeline to more geographically isolated comrades.

i think trying to maintain a presence on reddit is important for the same reason that showing up as a bloc at a major liberal/authoritarian protest is - we have to stay visible.

Can someone fill me.in on what happened? I haven't been visiting the sub or keeping up with Reddit outside of /r/Smite

Super short version: there have been a number of left subs that have been shut down recently and people are concerned this sub might be targeted next.

How can I find out which subs?

I see the logic, but I don't know about sharing a website on the deepest darkest corners of the internet with paedophiles & nazis.
