Hey all, there's a small incentive of money for any web developers who might want to work on these two online projects below.
1. Restoring The Anarchist Federation of Cyber Communes Website to new servers
We're a small group that's been involved in creating leaflets, wikis and data visualizations for various people.
Unfortunately we accidentally didn't pay our bills on time to one server company lol, so the website is currently down. There are 2 other servers that members of AF2C are using to chose from for restoring the website though, with pros and cons to each. Or if you have a server you'd like to use we'd be open to that too.
All the information anyone needs is in this call out linked below. If you don't have the skills or time to work on this please share the link around, there’s also a donation link on the page for if you want to help contribute towards someone else having the time to restore the website:
Plus, here's a little post about AF2C:
2. Building a classic forum board and more radical online archives with amusewiki software
We plan to create a classic forum board called 'radical libraries' where lots of online libraries will be linked prominently at the top, and just keep spinning off various radical online archives to serve different readerships, like a radical environmentalist one, a radical anthropology one, a communalist library one, and more.
The website would be one single forum, platformed on it's own domain and uniting:
- forum. thelul.org
- forum. stealthiswiki.com
- forum. thetedkarchive.com
- and others in the future.
We can currently be found at r/RadicalLibraries
We also have blueprints for new radical online archives we'd like to see built:
- A blueprint for a future bonus Communalist Library using AmuseWiki software
- A blueprint for a future Radical Anthropology archive using AmuseWiki software
- Radical texts that could be split off to create new archives
Our suggestions
It’d be good to find a web developer interested in getting the AF2C website up again, there's at least 2 available servers anyone can start on at any moment. There's a WARC back up of the website from Dec 2024, and there's a web archive version from 8 Oct 2025.
It'd also be good to find someone who can follow this how to guide for setting up AmuseWiki software:
Plus to be the main person that can be around to do a little site maintenance every now and again like be able to work out if a PDF with really big dimensions is messing up the website script. Or, what the hell to do when we get error messages like this: "Can't call method "publish_text" on an undefined value at /usr/share/perl5/AmuseWikiFarm/Schema/Result/Job.pm line 614."
There's a small one time payment the group Anarchist Federation of Cyber Communes (AF2C) can offer as an incentive.
So, if anyone has the time and would be up for getting involved it’d be super appreciated. Our email addresses are:
- af2c [at] protonmail [dot] com
- & radicallibraries [at] proton [dot] me
Plus, here’s the AF2C matrix chat that it’d be good for people to join, so that the group can vet peeps before giving access codes to the server:
Marco from Anarchist Libraries Network also offered to help tutor anyone who’d like a hand navigating the server files by emailing or messaging the #amusewiki IRC:
- hosting [at] anarchistlibraries [dot] network
- <www.web.libera.chat/#amusewiki>
Finally, if you don't think you have the web development experience, but would like to donate towards someone else having the time to build the website, you can donate via the link below, and leave a comment such as 'for the radical libraries commune':

Radical Libraries Commune
We've restored a back up of an old wiki project called Steal This Wiki. A collaborative update and rewrite of Abbie Hoffman’s seminal work, Steal This Book. Plus, a collection of related books and essays e.g. books analysing this project’s yippie anarchist roots.
We've helped the author Sean Fleming with research for his essay; Searching for Ecoterrorism. That piece, together with an essay called Religion, violence and radical environmentalism examines the nature-based spiritualities that run through much of the environmental movement and argues that these influences makes violence less likely than in some other political movements.
We've helped Atun-Shei Films with research for his video essay Did Native Americans Really Live in Balance with Nature?
And we’ve put together a research text dump on the Green Scare that pulls together a range of sources. First, it includes texts critical of the corporate- and government-driven narrative—for example, there are claims Ted Kaczynski attended a radical environmentalist gathering and may have drawn inspiration from it in choosing his targets, but an ad we found in the Earth First! Journal suggests it wasn’t an especially radical event where everyone sat around a darkly lit table twiddling their moustaches. Plus, we found and archived a note by Ted K showing he hid his contempt for anarchists for 19 years while trying to convert us to his reactionary ideology. Second, it includes primary source reading on the people who helped fuel the Green Scare, along with a timeline they put together of radical environmentalist direct actions. It’s pretty laughably anti-environmentalist, but still useful—if only to show that these kinds of actions were already happening back in the 1950s.
