kittenzrulz123 has created another community in case anyone currently subscribed to libertyhub would like to follow her.
She created and did this without communicating with anyone else in libertyhub. Libertyhub is still here, and still a fairly quiet sub.
I banned her from libertyhub, but her post will not be deleted. So feel free to follow the link.
Libertyhub is anarchistic, therefore anti-authoritarian and anti-tankie. See the wiki site on tankies for explanation but tldr: tankies support sending tanks against civies to keep control.
Edit: correction for pronouns
Wow, I read through the other post and kittenz is not beating the tankie allegations trying to hijack the comm and move it to db0, which should be it’s own post on https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/yepowertrippinbastards
It was a bit surprising, but I think it speaks volumes about how safe kittenz felt here before.
While it did unfortunately change, it could still be quite the safe space for leftism without authoritarianism. Rule 2 should cover that
As an idea, perhaps the banner/icon for the community should be altered to replace the hammer and sickle flag with something more solidly Anarchist (like perhaps the CNT or IWW flag?) to further distance itself from authoritarian symbolism.
I’m semi-proficient with Krita, so I could take a crack at modifying it to something else chosen by the mods or community, if you’d like (and no worries if you ultimately decided not to go with it) :)
I wouldn’t be against it. Iirc, kittenz changed the banner and logo to their current version maybe a year or two ago after link left the first time. It used to be a crossed out sealion, because we were dealing with sealioning libs so frequently back then lol. I don’t remember what it was before the sealion.
Ah, maybe a fresh start would be better, then? But if you’d prefer just to alter it, let me know.
If you’re up for making logo; either changes or not, we can hold a poll on changing it 🥰
Sounds good! :)
I should mention though that when I say I’m proficient at Krita, I use it more as a photoshop alternative, not so much as a painter/artist. I’ll work on a couple edits of your existing logo and try my hand at a more original one too and send em to ya in a DM.
Hoping this revitalizes the comm and that it stays open and accessible for leftist voices.
Feel free to post! 🥰 It’ll stay a leftist space in the honour of links 💪
Also cus we leftist, both me a twiddletwaddle 🎉
Tankies don’t do anything but read theory all day, so taking over communities is the only way they feel connected to the history of imperialism in the name of
civilizing the noble savagesimproving the material conditions.Why go actually do work when you can take over anarchist spaces? It’s what they did in Ukraine. Probably why they don’t like modern day Ukraine too. The idea of people doing things without being ordered because it’s right is foreign to them.
