The fediverse is anti-capitalist. The fediverse is anarchist praxis. The fediverse is not a protocol. The fediverse caries an ideology of communal care and mutual aid for our fellow humans. The fediverse should never be neutral on ideology. The tools we are building provide infrastructure for communication but they also shape that communication.

"The fediverse is anarchist praxis."

I consider myself a non-anarchist (compare my post on "Landfrieden" https://mastodon.radio/@dj3ei/112215003669124437 ). I follow several accounts of various agencies of my government - via Fediverse. I have engaged with some in dialogue and occasionally they have changed a little something because of what I've suggested.

So I'm happy to say that the Fediverse is even better than anarchism.

@dj3ei @liaizon oh no, why would you follow government accounts?

the thing about anarchist practice is that anyone can do it regardless of whether you are ideologically an anarchist, it is just acting in a non-coercive, mutually beneficial manner manner

Why would I follow government accounts? Its a way of acting in a non-coercive, mutually beneficial manner towards my local community. That community has organized itself into a state fundamentally based on democracy, human rights, rule of law, and all that good stuff. So stabilizing government and, where needed, nudging it towards its foundations is community service.
