Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.

Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.

This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.

Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Rules


  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.

  7. No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

It does have its flaws though. For example, if you use uBlock Origin, your browser's requests to the ad networks' servers never make it.

If you use AdNauseam, the requests do make it. This means the ad networks will get your IP address, what page you were on, browser fingerprints, etc.

Essentially, you spam click ads, but at the cost of... giving them all the data they'd normally get if you didn't have an ad blocker and spam clicked ads.

Most of these networks can filter out obvious bot behavior like just clicking every single ad repeatedly, so at the end of the day it's unlikely to do much harm to them, but it sure as hell will give them a lot of trackable data about your browsing history.

I do believe it's more effective when the extension is set to only click ads somewhat occasionally though. Enough to drain extra money, while still just looking like a person that tends to click ads more frequently than others, instead of clicking every single one.
