I'd recommend taking a look at this online anonymity guide we put together for our monthly meta post over at slrpnk.net.

We’re stuck, nobody really knows what to do besides protest.

In addition to protests:

  1. Joining and organizing within your local community to create connections with others is incredibly powerful, and will lay the groundwork for effective resistance.
  2. We can effect things drastically with a general strike. This would massively impact their income streams, and can bring a fascist government to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
  3. Join the IWW and attempt to unionize your workplace, so that the general strike is even more effective (plus you'll get better pay and benefits!)

If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Join up with allies while we still can easily!

Lemmy-Federate is a project that automatically subscribes a single bot account from participating instances to essentially pre-seed a community across those instances. The net effect of doing that is posts made to that community will show up on those instances /all feed, and the community itself will show up if users on those instances search it (instead of having to use the lemmyverse.net community search to discover it exists, and then manually federate the community to their instance by searching the community URL in their local instance's search bar).

Once a real user from a participating instance subscribes to the community, the bot account will unsubscribe.

It makes it much, much easier to get a new community rolling, as otherwise it could take quite some time for people across instances to discover it and be federated naturally (which is even more of an issue on smaller instances, where there may not be a large/active local community to kick things off).

If by old you mean mlmym, we do host it and offer it in our sidebar for those who prefer it: https://old.slrpnk.net/

Don't sell yourselves short, your instance has a lot going for it due to your efforts!

  • Active admins who regularly participate and are easily reached if issues come up
  • Regularly update to newer versions of Lemmy
  • Appealing instance theme
  • excellent server up-time
  • Sought out Lemmy-federate to make it easier for new communities

All that takes time and effort to maintain, and a surprising amount of smaller instances can lack that. So cheers for all that you do, appreciate it man :)

I created !pixelart@retrolemmy.com a few days ago. It started with 55 default sub's from Lemmy-federate bots, but now already has 200 subs, and users participating with their own art!

Quite pleased with the community response, and grateful to retrolemmy.com for hosting it. They were the perfect instance for that community, and seem to run a tight ship :)

You can play the game here on Archive.org, or you can download a copy from that page and play it in DOSBox Staging.

Here's all the physical documentation you'll need, such as the short story, how to play manual, and an in-world map (you'll have to draw your own, but it'll give you a rough idea of the land. If you find map making tedious, you could use a map someone else made).

Lastly, you'll need this interactive copy protection wheel when it prompts you for a combination in game, right before entering a simulation.

Good luck! :D

A Mind Forever Voyaging, by Infocom.

It's an old text adventure from the 80's with a particularly cool and oddly relevant concept: You take the role of an AI that's been meticulously raised in a simulation to truly become a general intelligence. The reason this project was undertaken was to eventually send you, the AI, into other simulations based in the near future to test the outcomes of various political policies of the new republican government, record your interactions, and report back to the engineers who created you.

The game's designer said that he created the game in response to the despair he felt from Ronald Reagan being elected.

I haven't gotten super far in it, but it has an incredibly well written short story in the manual that details all the events leading up to the start of the game, and so far the game itself is unlike anything else I've ever played.

Many brands incorporate either plastic fibers or a polypropylene based glue in their paper bags, so be sure to look up each brand, even if it looks like paper.

Be warned, this video spoils much of the show, so I would highly recommend watching the show first, it's VERY good.

Rather insightful, I thought.
