It was probably the closest link aggregator to filling the niche we were looking for, but the leadership is pretty sectarian. It is an online community where only anarchists can be cops. We might have landed there instead of setting up our own platform if we thought it wouldn't impact our autonomy.
Literally had one try to sell me on the idea that a mod banning someone is not a use of authority. There are a lot of good things about anarchism but that ain't it chief
Well sure, but note that "depriving someone of their liberty/autonomy IRL" is not the only form of authority. Your boss has authority over you, and they can abuse that authority in all sorts of ways that don't amount to deprivations of liberty or autonomy.
Besides, the "how do we police online communities" question is a clear analogue to the "how do we police IRL communities" question. Fundamentally you're talking about what behavior is acceptable, who decides what's acceptable, and how the community responds to unacceptable behavior. If you can't even run an online community without having an unelected person unilaterally banishing people over vague, changing rules that aren't up for a vote, how are you supposed to run a real community without any form of authority?
The simple answer to all this is that while authority should have to justify its existence, if its existence is justifiable then that authority is allowed. This is still a fundamentally anti-authority position; it's just not dogmatic about it. It's like the difference between strict pacifism vs. opposing violence except as a last resort.
Red fascism is when you defeat literal fascism, then throw capitalists and reactionaries in jail so you can improve the material conditions of workers without sabotage.
What is raddle.me ?
Edit: Ah, internet leftist drama, what would we do without it. Another site from where steal shit and post it here, hope they are funny.

Technically true but banning someone from a niche forum is a far cry from depriving someone of their liberty/autonomy IRL.

it's far better this way
Are you the egirl lenin from Fedi by any chance?
and here I thought my name choice was clever and unique :(
Considering it. I never meant for that account to become my main in the first place, anyway, it just sorta happened.

Extremely insular post-left nihilist anarchists who call ancoms imperialists.
No wonder the anarchist room in the discord tried to get me to join it.
Fuck this doomer shit. Anarchy is about getting stuff done.
speaking as a doomer: not wrong.
Speaking as a doomer, drop out of life with bong in hand; follow the smoke to the riff-filled land.
ever notice that the two big stoner metal albums both have dope in the name?
We need our own community here for doomer anarchist bong rips, it's the only thing fueling my insurrection at this point
Proceed.
I thought they were post-Bakuninist hyperhistamines?

The original joke was "hypersemites" but I haven't had a chance to read the room yet.
Who cares
A site where the owner is a hyper sectarian post left anarchist who has been constantly shitting on Lemmy for the past month
red fascist! Everyone but me is a red fascist!
red fascism is when your revolution succeeds for any period of time
Time to invent an even more esoteric anarchist tendency to identify with and split from all existing ones.
Anarcho-Trotskyism

red fascism is when capitalists are sad bc the meanie tankies didn't let them counter revolution :(
