A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

As others have alluded to here... the idea of internet activism as a political movement kinda burned itself out with the rise and fall of the Pirate Party; at least for most of western Europe.
Lots of interesting lessons learned can be drawn from that if such a thing were to be ever attempted again, but at least for now the Fediverse remains solidly in the "infrapolitics" space. We have a community about this here: https://slrpnk.net/c/infrapolitics
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !infrapolitics@slrpnk.net
This community link doesn’t work for me (Memmy user).
These links only work if someone from your instance has previously subscribed to that community. With small communities on small instance that is often not the case.
Thanks for the link, looks interesting
I think its really a pity that the pirate party lost its steam, because it was left and also really anti-authoritarian (at least I think). However, I think the Fediverse could become political or at least societal really relevant, because I think there is a strong interrelation between how our social networks are build, therefore how we act in them and from that how we act as social beings in general. I think federated social networks could have a positive effect here and also maybe give the pirate party some steam again.
The Fediverse is political, it just isn't directly represented by a political party or similar movement with political ambitions.
In a way that is good, because it allows us to slowly shift the Overton window etc instead of becoming a target of polarization and political manipulation like the PP did.
