Yes, sometimes one has to break the law to fix the system.

If you’re that paranoid, or there’s an actual crackdown happening, stash the backback and retrieve later.

Yes, anonymity can cut both ways. But the answer is not no-anonymity.

You can actually run it in async model without pictrs safety and just have it scan your newly uploaded images directly from storage. It just doesn’t prevent upload this way, just deletes them.

You don’t get public traffic redirected. It’s not how it works

It stops doing checks. Iirc you can configure it yes

“People don’t become anarchists, they just realize they are one”

Glad to see you reach your own realization, friend. I don’t know of any particular Ukrainian anarchist comm (but feel free to start one on lemmy) but I’ve seen communiques from anarchist resistance fighters in Ukraine. I don’t have links handy but I’ll ask around for you but be aware that due to OpSec, it’s not always easy to find these people out of the blue.

As for what you can do, the basic is prefiguration. Start living your life in a way compatible with anarchism, and strive to make others join you. Not only will that improve your lives, but it will also radicalize others, without you having to “convince” them.

https://github.com/db0/fedi-safety and the companion app https://github.com/db0/pictrs-safety which can be installed as part of your lemmy deployment in the docker-compose (or with a var in your ansible)

Not all web traffic, just the images to check. With any decent bandwidth, it shouldn’t be an issue for most. It also setup in such a way as to not cause a downtime if the checker goes down.

The software is setup in such a way that you can run it on your pc if you have a local gpu. It only needs like 2 gb vram

That is friggin’ cool!

I mean, if you don’t want to use microblogging you can just sub in communities like this one. This is why I crossposted it here, for people like you.

Follow some anarchists around and they’ll boost them into your time line. If you want you can start with mine @[email protected]

I agree, but people tend to post in what they’re already using. I have a hard time convincing mastodon people to even use lemmy

They have clearly internalized the pervasive trope that leftists will vote for them, because they have no other choice, so the only thing that matters to convince is the right. Looks like they calculated wrong.

Still 404 on my end

They did run a revolt server for a while, but they apparently had to revert back to discord for reasons.

I’m getting a 404

There are many such people deeply wedded to the old “one big coalition to destroy the one big enemy” way of thinking, and the Ukraine war has shaken them out. They cannot believe that many of us could resist NATO in the streets of Chicago and then come home and fight against the “national-anarchists” and tankies in our local scenes who likewise oppose NATO. This is, to them, not consistency in anti-authoritarian principles but inconsistency in alliances.

Very insightful

The point is not if mutual exists, but how to practice it. You also forget that the alienation we all experience from capitalism has left most people without the necessary knowledge to do direct action for mutual aid. Did you visit the article?
