@sigmundur @alamarw @brennan @Fraelsisfylking well it seems really weird for me if you support anarchism but at the same time mutual help... Maybe im getting something wrong but how is that a functional state form?
@sealnose Anarchism is not chaos
Mutual aid is very anarchist, it was actually popularized by anarchist philosopher Peter Kropotkin.
For a really quick and friendly explainer on anarchism I can recommend David Graeber's "Are you an anarchist? The answer may surprise you":
https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/david-graeber-are-you-an-anarchist-the-answer-may-surprise-youFor a longer more thorough explaination, I can recommend Peter Gelderloos's "Anarchy Works": https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/peter-gelderloos-anarchy-works

@sigmundur if you ever want free hosting or web design or anything like that let me know and let other groups know too. I run https://berryhouse.ca/
@brennan Thank you so much! That is very generous of you
I'm currently hosting the site on a Hetzner VPS. But am thinking about moving it over to @Codeberg Pages.
I will definitely bring it up with my comrades during our next meeting. Currently I have just made a super simple 11ty page available on Anarkist.fo (Note: the domain name WILL change)
And the code is here: https://codeberg.org/FraelsisfylkingAnarkistanna/anarkist.fo (repository name will also be changed)

@sigmundur wonderful! good thinking, sounds like you know what you're doing

@brennan Now this is what I'm talking about! Great site!

@brennan Sounds like Omarchy:Linux::Grokipedia:Wikipedia.

@brennan Cloudflare, too? Missed that. Gross.
On the upside, Googling around led me to this article (by @alatiera I think?) which is straight spitting fire: https://blogs.gnome.org/alatiera/2025/11/06/dhh-and-omarchy-midlife-crisis/

That’s a bold claim—do you have any evidence? Because anyone can make a claim. -

@brennan
Fair enough. As a developer building my own projects, I take claims of this scale seriously. Accusing tech giants of funding extremism carries massive legal and reputational risks.I’m open to supporting valid causes, but before I back this, I need you to clearly explain the direct connection to me rather than just leaving raw links. Show me the concrete link, and if it stands up, I’ll consider getting behind it

@parabellum_linux_project literally the first couple links in the references are DHH's writing
https://web.archive.org/web/20250925050154/https://world.hey.com/dhh/as-i-remember-london-e7d38e64
then, there are many other links from others who have provided lengthy commentary on DHH's past actions and behaviours. I have not made this difficult to understand.

@brennan So the entire premise relies on DHH’s personal blog posts?
By this logic, if Big Tech sponsors Debian, and a maintainer inside Debian posts controversial political views on their personal blog, does that mean Big Tech is directly funding that political movement?
Supporting open-source infrastructure or using tools built by a dev is not the same as 'funding extremism.' Conflating a developer’s personal writing with corporate extremism funding is a massive logical leap -

He has declared himself benevolent dictator and anti-democracy in Omarchy's Doctrine: http://web.archive.org/web/20260911142433/https://omarchy.org/doctrine/ He personally oversees everything and has full control and final say.
Corporations and executives have given him 18 million dollars, that is exponentially more money than any other Linux distro would get. It is clear that money is not required for the development of Omarchy, and it would be naïve to think that.

@brennan Quoting 'Benevolent Dictator' shows a lack of understanding of tech history. BDFL is a 30-year-old software term used for creators like Linus Torvalds (Linux) and Guido van Rossum (Python)—it has zero connection to political dictatorship: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benevolent_dictator_for_life
Corporations fund open-source infrastructure and public code, not personal politics. Conflating technical project governance with 'funding extremism' is pure sensationalism. -

It is obvious to see what is happening here. I am not conflating anything. These corporations are funding DHH. Omarchy is a front. What would a Linux distro need 18 million dollars for?

@brennan As a distro maintainer myself, I know how open-source economics work. Omacom Foundation raised $18.5M to fund Linux desktop infrastructure, developer grants, and open-source tooling—not DHH’s personal account.
Claiming a non-profit software foundation is a 'political front' just because it secured major backing shows a complete refusal to separate code funding from conspiracy theories
