Well, folks, it finally happened. The Lemmy is up. Been a difficult few weeks but we now have our Ground Zero from which we will bounce back. To anyone we’ve lost over the past few weeks, go and find them, and bring them here, and make them post about pig poop balls.
See, I really don’t get it any more. The more I’m exposed to it, the more it just seems like infantile reaction without any thought behind it. It’s like if someone decided they were completely ideologically opposed to the letter E. It’s just nonsensical and knee-jerk. Having lived in three communes with actual anarchists IRL, it also seems to be a purely online phenomenon. Nobody’s bitching about authoritarianism when it’s time to build a shelter and we’ve only got one guy who knows what the fuck they’re doing.
I think it’s a community dynamics thing, where anarchists naturally want to be inclusive to all anarchist tendencies, but that includes a couple dumb ones that think that community and actually doing stuff are tyranny, and those make the place unfun until everyone cool leaves. Basically an anarchist forum should have a “no egoists” rule.
