Sorry not sure which community to really post in since I'm not that active but I think labour would probably be most appropriate. But if you check out that thread the comment that made me think of hexbear was 8baked17's. That user is acknowledging the need to mitigate their community off of reddit to avoid repression/ counter narrative work that reddit deploys.
"This movement needs to get off of social media ASAP and organized on an independent, transparent AND MOST IMPORTANTLY A NON-PROFIT PLATFORM, be it online or offline, before the collective voices get drowned out by garbage content spam and bots."
I wonder if it might be productive for the mod team here to reach out to their mod team and discuss this possibility or if the community here/ the wider community here has any thoughts to share about such a possibility. I know this is a much smaller space and I admittedly don't know if this would even be feasible from a technological standpoint but I have not floated this on reddit and have only put this here since this is much smaller community and should have primacy in deciding whether this would be a workable option or if it would have too many detrimental effects here.
For my part, I think these people are radicalizing HARD in real time and this might be a golden opportunity to channel some of this into forward-thinking channels and possibly put them onto some other related shit that needs to be addressed as well.
Barely any, but there's a bit of a baby syndicalist bent to it. They really eat up the general strike and cross-industry solidarity stuff. A lot iffier on understanding that unions are key to doing that effectively. Completely oblivious to the fact that AES and the global south are allies in the struggle, and that the shape of the struggle in each of those is very different from what it is here.
