tech CEO's that refuse to release the source code of medical devices should be tried and convicted on crimes against humanity and face execution. only by releasing the source code can they be freed.

actually kill people for not releasing source code for medical devices, make it an actual capital offense. if someone cannot at will see the code in their own body, then their basic bodily autonomy has been undermined.

It aleady has been. Anything, anything publicly posted and available will be harvested by, at a minimum, Google spiders. The only privacy benefits of any site can only be promises that they won't share the information that you don't publicly list.

And even then,.all it takes is the feds raiding a dipshit Kolektiva admin to get that information illegally anyways.

Do not organize serious actions over social media. At most, hold sensitive discussions over private, E2E encrypted chats like Matrix.

Starting with someone's dotfiles is a much better way to start with these minimalist window managers. You can see what they did and only tweak the the things you want to work different. Still not as easy as a DE's unified settings, but if you like that fine grained control it can be worthwhile. My setup is quite basic, but having everything bound to the keys I want lets me do what I want quickly.

completeanarchy's def assholes, yes, though again I refrain from calling anything or anyone a fed because that's historically been used extremely abusively in leftist spaces. antiwork's more well known as having been fucked with, as generally when actual fed shit happens on reddit it invovles reddit admins getting directly involved.

What does that even mean? It runs on elected mods, with a separate subreddit that posts notable mod actions for transparency. Do you think there's any non-fed anarchist subreddit, or are you just fedjacketing as a bit or because their opnions annoy you? Antiwork actually had Laurelai Bailey, an actual known snitch, we actually do know that there was fed shit going on there - I have never heard an actual serious accusation about r/anarchism of all places.

LIke unless your'e going to hand me actual evidence that morrigan or someone is actually a cop, this is the kind of thing that I'm talking about. That fedjacketing shit is toxic, it gets people paranoid, it's a traumatic thing to go through, so the general expectation is that you don't ever call someone a cop or a fed without actual evidence to back that up.

Mastodon is the kind of place I referred to in my previous comment.

Not really sure how that's particularly waned, relative to anything else. Anarchist instances can be pretty large, and Mastodon (and the other twitter-like federated projects) as a whole is a much larger thing than Lemmy at present. That is where you'll find actual orgs with their "official" accounts after Twitter started banning them.

I don't know who you're talking about but Hexbear is more active today than it has ever been.

ML's on Hexbear are active, yes. I don't really see other anarchists very often, we're more often referred to than actually present. I don't really think I see much other htan ML's represented in general, which is absolutely a decline from when the website started and certainly from when the subreddit was still not banned.

It used to have a bigger problem with anti-trot sectarianism, far more than anarchism.

The trot in question got orriginally targetted in part due to their association with anarchists, which again the phrase "anarchist cabal" will always be funny. But part of why there was resistance to that sectarianism was becuase there were anarchists present to push back on it, which over time a lot of us have burned out on the community. And so like 90% of the time it seems like posts are mostly complaining about anarchists, which I imagine is probably exhausting for whatever anarchists remain.

Which ones?

GenZanarchism was probably one of hte more notable ones that got cheered on, though people have been trying to fuck with r/anarchism for a while which had that space paranoid as shit. I remember on the Discord we were looking over some screenshots over some drama about needing to disassociate with a server of Reddit subredit moderators where someone told someone else to kill thesmelves, and part of those screenshots was them with a channel dedicated to fucking with anarchist subreddits.

You can just go to the dunk thread for this thread and see the upvoted replies, like those just plain stating they don't really advocate for left unity either.

Anarchist presence on Mastodon has been fine. Raddle has the issue of Ziq being shitty to people and fostering a space only really welcoming to a specific brand of post-leftist, and so far the fact that Lemmy has been made by ML's has stifled interedt in a specifically anarchist Lemmy instance. Though even then Raddle still has more visibly active anarchists than Hexbear, and if you go by specifically anarchist discussions the anarchism community on Hexbear has always been anemic.

Having been here from the start and watched people leave, it's always been the overt sectarianism that gets cited. Hexbear is not a revolutionary movement, it is an internet forum, and while it started out as a space that wanted to specifically be an actual social space for leftists in general it has absolutely become an ML centric soace to the exclusion of pretty much any other tendency. And for all some might say they think we have shared goals, it tends to not mean much when there has always been a contingent that has viewed driving off other tendencies as praxis.

I would agree that it would be better to have an actual anarchist presence on kbin/lemmy and that the objection to using the software is silly, but a lot of anarchist reddit spaces have dealt with specifically ML wreckers trying to to gain control of subreddits for shits and giggles, so I don't think I can convince anyone this wouldn't be more of the same.
