@sealnose mutual aid is aid from other people, not the state. it is reciprocal and equitable.
@brennan so you want the state to be gone altogether and hope people will just organize themselves?

@sealnose I'm not an anarchist myself, but it is far more complicated than that. I'd recommend works like Anarchy Works by Peter Gelderloos or Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution by Pyotr Kropotkin if you're interested. It isn't really something that could be explained in a toot

@brennan oh okay thanks for the heads up, im always really sceptical because many anti far right groups are also extremists

@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
