Discuss anarchist praxis and philosophy. Don't take yourselves too seriously.

I know these federated communities exist as well as raddle, but it still seems like most people will stay on toxic and corporate-run platforms like reddit or Twitter. I'm far from perfect myself and I still use reddit sometimes, especially for more niche communities, but when it comes to ideologically strong communities like the anarchist ones, it just feels wrong that the majority still hang out on reddit. Or you know, moving to something like Bsky when Twitter became too toxic but which is still run by a large, for-profit corporation (if they moved in the first place). What are your thoughts? Is there any justification for this?

To do damage.

Look, yelling in the basement of your local bar late at night is all well and good but sometimes you gotta set up on the street corner and scream at the normies to get the message across.

Damn those anarchists, never doing what I think they should! Why can't they just follow the rules!?

Why does anyone go to a community they don't necessarily agree with? Either to start shit or to convert. If your goal is to get other people to see the world your way, or even just to have an argument with someone who doesn't agree with you, first you have to be where people don't agree with you. I think this is probably a far sight better than people living in echo chambers, personally.

Alternatively, most people pick the least friction option, it's only us weird, passionate people who go through the added inconvenience to be on a platform that more aligns with our ideals.

Raddle is literally run by insane people who admit to using sockpuppets and have incoherent beliefs

Yeah it's really not great, I've seen a lot of bad stuff over there. Thankfully it's much more inactive now, and they can't reach anyone else since they're voluntarily not federated.

Hi! Recovering Reddit anarchist here! Although if I’m honest it probably wasn’t until after leaving reddit I really started to understand what anarchism meant, and more openly align with it.
