Desperate people for freedom tend to not have a choice on whose help they accept, I can't begrudge them that.

And I wish their revolution the best of luck to avoid those
Every popular movement will have agents of other nations hostile to the current regime acting in it. This isn't a reason to oppose revolutionary movements, especially ones fighting against theocracies killing their own citizens. What we should be doing is opposing foreign intervention, but ultimately it doesn't matter what we say online
Yea there was definitely no reason for Iranians to ever revolt against a fucking theocracy.
I never said I support the US intervening
And thus I refer you back to the original meme.
It was inevitable this would have happened given how your "progressives" have been running the country when they were in power for the past 40 years. It was inevitable that the wide-spread alienation and destitution of your populace, while at the same time being told that they're imagining it, would bring forth a fascist regime. It was inevitable when all the effort of progressives was wasted on electioneering, instead of creating the bottom-up structures that could combat fascism.
I tend to just do quests ,or trying to find the material to upgrade. Dunno what I'll do once I have finished those.
And another revolution opposed by "revolutionaries"
What else could I possibly be referring to?

Nina spitting truths as always. She's on fire recently, so follow her if you're not doing so already.
To be clear; everyone working in my government, particularly after today, is a Nazi, or someone who works for Nazis. Do you know what we call people who worked for the Nazis, in the Nazi government? Yes, that is correct, Nazis.
So Machado is certainly not gonna feel lonely on the list of people on my TV who are definitely Nazis.
Oh, was that too harsh? Are you feeling bad for the good career civil servants, working for the literal fucking Nazis, who I have just impuned? Cool, let's refer back to that part where I said I was surrounded by people who openly recognize that this is fascism, and ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY refuse to accept what that actually means.
We call people, who worked for the Nazi Party, in the Nazi government, Nazis. Nobody says "the Nazi government and the career civil servants who hated them but stayed."
"They'll just find someone else."
Then let them. "I took the job at the concentration camp because I was sure Hitler would find someone else" was not a good defense in court last time, and it won't be this time either.

Site upgrade and a new year as the anarchist flotilla [GenAI][Flotilla][Instance][Yearly Recap]
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Happy new year ya 'orrible lot!
Another year and what a year 2026 has been already, amirite?
Tech
First let's talk about new tech stuff for this instance
Upgrades
So let's start things simple, the Divisions by zero instance has now been upgraded to 0.19.15, the latest current lemmy version. All the other frontends we offer have also been brought up to date to their latest versions as well.
Threativore flotilla integration
Threativore has been updated so that it correctly counts votes from flotilla users as local votes. However it's a bit tricky to allow it to determine if a user is a supporter or not, as it doesn't have access to stuff like user emails. For now, I decided the simplest option was to create an account aliasing setup. This means that if you're supporting the flotilla through the Ko-Fi or Liberapay buttons of /0, but your primary account is on anarchist.nexus (or any other instance really), you can create an account on lemmy.dbzer0.com (if you don't have one already) and then PM the threativore bot with this command from that account.
threativore add alias: https://<instance.domain>/u/<username>
Once you do that, all your votes on governance threads will be automatically linked to your /0 account, which also ensures there's no vote duplication by accident.
2025 Notable Events
Let's also take a look back at what happened in 2025
The Fediverse Anarchist Flotilla is launched
Continuing our experiments in how far we can push radical democracy on the internet, we expanded our fediverse fleet into the flotilla, with the addition of anarchist.nexus. And just this month, we're already considering onboarding the first 3rd party instance into the fleet. Things are looking bright!
Haphash protection
Last month, we finally implemented Proof-of-Work protection to try and limit the AI-scraping scourge on these waves. The results one month in are very positives, with very little slowdowns reported anymore and much less headaches for your local sysadmins.
Staff
As the stress of being a fediverse admin degrades our brains, so we need fresh ~~victims~~ blood to help us run the ship. So we've added some more flotilla admins who have been taking to these waters quite nicely. At the same time some of our other admins have stepped back or are focusing more on the smaller anarchist.nexus which is also perfectly fine and exactly what the flotilla is meant to support.
Instance
/0 is officially the 4th largest instance by created accounts and 6th largest by MAU. Pretty neat for our little weird corner of the internet, no?
Membership
And now of course, the moment you've all been waiting for

Overall, +2.3K users since last year with a slight increase in people promoting FOSS over other categories. In the top 3 per category, the only notable change is GNU kicking out VLC our of the Free Software and the Muskrat being slowly phased out of the Other category of mentions, since we started rejecting applications that mentions that fash as their favorite (seriously, what were you expecting?)
Funding
As always, m@tes continue to be amazing, more than fully funding our operations for the past year with tons to spare. Anyway, this year I decided to switch the goal to yearly (since I keep procrastinating saying anything about it anyway)
Please continue being awesome and help ensure we can stay online for years to come!

Finally I want to remind everyone that this is all only possible due to all y'all consistently interacting and growing our communities. Keep at it and we'll keep providing the space to do so!
