Idk, what broke me into leftism was "Wage Labour and Capital" and what sealed the deal was "Socialism: From Utopian to Scientific". It wasn't the freshness of the ideas that blew me away but how solid and rigorous the foundations are.

Before that I thought lefties just turn the "social programs" dial to 11 and the infighting was about how to best turn that dial and how social programs should work. To see such a rigorous approach to politics blew my socks off and broke with all my preconceived notions.

the beginning of the redemption arc? I hear every anarchist mention "The Conquest of Bread" by Kropotkin, it's gotta be good I just haven't gotten around to reading it.

oh also, not that I have read it, but I hear "The conquest of bread" by Peter Kropotkin is almost mandatory reading for any anarchist.

I'd be wary of ukranian anarchist spaces if you don't know anyone there. Some of the "anarchists" from the maidan went on to fight for Azov and OUN. Also I hope you are reasonably safe that your connection can't be snooped on as I'd think they are looking to draft lefty people first. Stay safe!

Due to the lack of a massive organization, the first anarchist and anti-fascist volunteers went to war individually as single fighters, military medics, and volunteers. They tried to form their own squad, but due to lack of knowledge and resources, this attempt was unsuccessful. Some people even joined the Azov battalion and the OUN (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists). The reasons were mundane: they joined the most accessible troops. Consequently, some people converted to right-wing politics.

What a joke, unless you stop shoving AI and it's mindboggling demands for energy into everything your not serious about carbon emissions

odd stuff should be taken care of by the admins though they gotta defederate instances that have poor spam control

Hmm I guess not I just saw that behaviour. It probably just blocks the posts on that instance no matter who posted it, but not the users who can be free to post somewhere else.

So if there is an instance about, for example, AI gen that you dont care for you can block that instance instead of every community on that instance individually, but the users of that instance might post about OSS or something on another instance which you then would see.

Out of curiosity what spam are you talking about?

It hides the posts from those instances from appearing on your feed. Maybe the comments as well I'm not sure. Content links to that instance as posts on an unblocked instance however would not be blocked. The post appears on an unblocked instance and could lead to any website, including something on your blocklist.
