Hi all!
I want to make a call to all of you, especially those of you who don't moderate (m)any forums, to join me as co-moderator for the forums I moderate if you fit the position! Especially where I'm the only mod. Check out u/Tequila_Wolf to see the list of forums I moderate.
Beyond that, I want to propose some forums I'd like to see, in case anybody thinks they're good to start it! The names are tentative, just to give an idea.
-
f/labour or f/worker
There are a lot of articles that come through raddle about how workers are getting screwed by x, y or z. They could go here, along with interesting stuff about unionisation. Could have related subforums like f/IWW and f/anarcho_syndicalism, if that ever becomes a thing, along with equivalent marxist and state socialist forums. -
f/anticapital
Raddle doesn't actually have a catch-all anticapitalist forum, which I find weird, because it's definitely one of the pillars of this site. Often I find myself posting general anticapitalist stuff to f/lobby because it seems appropriate to a wider group than any one forum. It's probably one of those which would need a range of different moderators, like f/communism, except an even wider range! -
f/Kill_Your_Idols (could perhaps use a more obvious-meaning title)
Kevin Spacey being a paedophile? Dave Chappelle being a transphobe? Gal Gadot a Zionist rape apologist? Why does society look up to celebrities? This would be a forum for posting the disgusting shit that celebrities do, not out of ressentiment, but as a reminder of the role models capitalism proposes for us. -
f/Book_Fairs
Book fairs are great! Setting up a nice forum around them would be lovely. Covering both how-to's, fun tips and tricks, and also promoting actual bookfairs. -
f/Free_Skool
I'm not so aware of how many anarchist free skools/universities exist at the moment, but it would be cool to have a place that covers what they are, how they're made, and where they are currently and what those ones do! -
f/Fascism
For info/analysis around fascism that is more general than f/Antifa and f/FascismRising -
f/Care_Tactics
There are occasionally posts about how people who, rather that just bashing them, sat down and took the time to talk with fascists and white supremacists were quite successful in their approach. I have no idea how worthwhile this approach is, but for those of us who are interested in a diversity of tactics and would like to explore every avenue, having a dedicated space for this seems worthwhile.
Thoughts? If you have any other thoughts of your own you'd like to add that aren't a direct response to what's been said here, they're welcome too.
EDIT: Added f/Fascism and f/Care_Tactics
