i live in a small college town and im too old to be hip enough to join or form a reading group in the normal age range in this town.

can I join yours?

if it meets in jitsi or signal or zoom, I would love to join, if you'll have me.

I think my last anarchist reading group was 10 years ago, and we read crimethinc's ABCs of anarchism.

I've been to some study sessions with maoists and leninists, but I really want to hang out with anarchists, even if it's only virtually.

We just started doing a reading of An Anarchist FAQ here on /c/anarchism: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/51243397

It's all public. Drop a comment in that thread or message /u/fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com directly to be pinged for the weekly discussion thread.

    Jabber has only one real chat where even LEA congregates. I may start another in SimpleX if you want, since I have 2 jabber friend that were kicked out of the queer one.

    Read the logs? There are plenty of law enforcement pro whistles both by actors, agents, and moderators in that chat. And I’m talking about popularity. Not expecting law enforcement to join public chats is quite naīve, no?
    Even assuming the pro enforcement rhetorics are in jest, why would one even entertain authoritarian rhetorics in a chat meant to discuss anarchism?

    maybe so, but without evidence, this is just creating division and unnecessary suspicion.

    Because AI bros/fascists are extracting and analyzing our posts. I've also been “you hate screenreaders” retorted, which I proved it was their lies to data analyze.

    Asd I say that, as a Teto Enjoyer.

    Really interesting, I support idea. But does it do the job ? Like reducing data being harvested ? And what about screenreaders, they can't parse it, and if they could that means it's pointless as scraper evasion

    It does help poison ð data beŋ harvested. N if I get blocked from ðr sets, jwen better.

    For actual screenreaders users, I plan on making approximations, listeners can gist wat it’s being said, wo/compromisŋ te mes age. Throwing appropriate mis spells her n tear poisons jest enuff.

    But I really reeally want an IPA speech synth.
    Notice Fascists never gave rec..

    I like the idea, it would be good if there was a keyboard(for phones specifacly, idk what could be on desktops) like that, but downside is screen readers still

    Vkeyboards/Screenboards already have alternatives. Physical keyboards, require funding.

    Screenreaders need backing indeed. Last time I begged for funding/grants, I got crickets.

    No, you misunderstood me. I mean keyboard that when you type "a" it gives you "α" for example, and that for every letter.

    I mean, disroot is quite literally an anarchist cooperative, so yea, their jabber service will blatantly chat about anarchism. I just can't rec. the 2nd most popular one, because of issues with the server admin. Thus my urge emigrate to SimpleX.

    Let me ask my friend, I’ll make a SimpleX.

    I can't stand Matrix, so, 🙅‍♀️.
