Over the past few years all the major tech companies of the GAFAM have shadow-banned or literally banned most of the collectives using kolektiva.media. Now we've learned that the Turkish state has blocked access to our domain due to "distribution of terrorist propaganda". More than ever, the State, the cops and those in power want to keep revolutionary ideas and counter-information out of the mainstream.

This seemed like a good time to remind people that kolektiva.media is also accessible as an onion service using Tor Browser with the following link :

If you don't have Tor Browser, you can download it on the Tor Project website:

If your ISP blocks access to the Tor Project website, you can visit this page for alternative ways to download the Tor Browser :

Furthermore, with all the mainstream social media algorithms showing us almost nothing but ads, you may feel like you're now missing some good anarchist content you were enjoying in the past. If it's the case, you can subscribe to a Peertube channel's RSS feed or also subscribe to the newsletters of different projects to never miss a video.

@notjustbikes That's so cool!
Case in point: If you're reading this and thinking "recent?" then, yes, the last 5 years are all extremely recent. If we can't have at least a 5 year horizon on what constitutes the near future, then we are lost at sea.

I'm concerned about the future of the Fediverse precisely because of the recent influx of people who see it as "Twitter 2."

Sure, more and more of those people are flocking off to Blue Sky, but we have to remember that they plan to eventually join the Fediverse (or a version of it) under ATproto.

It's not even about culture or values. It's about relationship to technology. Such a large number of people not "getting it" is a tidal force we must resist.

@mikey_in_sd LIC? What does this mean? I tried to google it and only got "Life Insurance Corporation" which seems unlikely heh.

@TechConnectify well, if you ever change your mind on this (and have the opportunity, of course) it would be a very welcome addition to my lifetime membership.

... Although I would probably still end up watching on YouTube due to sheer laziness.

The huge antiwar protest for Palestine at New York's Grand Central Station was the kind of media event that the mainstream press should eagerly cover. They ignored it.

No Labels is a dark money group with secret far-right donors.It’s not trying to find the so-called “middle ground.”

It’s trying to put Donald Trump back in the White House.

According to CPJ, as many journalists were killed in the first 11 days of the Gaza crisis as in the first 20 months of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Israeli Attacks on Journalists Stifle Reporting on Gaza Horrors - FAIR

The ability of reporters to cover Gaza is jeopardized by the alarming number of newspeople Israel has killed since the crisis began.
