It's all described in the stickied post in /f/Konsent, sorry for not making that clear. There has been some changes here and there that isn't described, I'll add those in later. If big text posts aren't your thing, hosting is no longer a problem thanks to /u/Fossidarity, so I'll get everything online as soon as v0.3 is ready (tommorow or so).
e: the sticky is now up to date

You're right, it might be too touchy... It is without a doubt an issue that should be taken up at some point, but it's probably not fit for being a simple test. I personally would rather have it black and red, like the ansyn and ancom flag.
Pretty much anything will do really, as long as it isn't a touchy or sensitive topic.
It's my pleasure to, seeing it welcomed so warmly here is really uplifting. Thank you!

That's a good one, let's do that! I'll let everyone know when it's all online and ready.

Yep, I'll merge 0.3 into master once we're sure everything is good, then I'll buy a domain and get it online with PythonAnywhere.

Alright, i think that should be a good start for some early testing! I think there's enough active people to tear Konsent to pieces in your subs.
Any help with hosting would really be greatly appreciated!! I'll send you a PM.

I added the text from the original post in /f/Konsent which explains how we could approach it. X-posts are confusing.

That's good to hear! Konsent is almost purely based on concensus, especially after we've added discussion during phase two, and are planning to implement stand-asides along with the veto system.
The two points where direct democracy is being used (phase 1, voting for the more urgent issues to go first, and phase 2, voting for the best solution), it is completely onymous. If a solution that doesn't take the minorities into serious consideration is voted for, it'll be vetoed instantly, and will have to be reformed.

What i meant and should have said was "Rojava doesn't have much to do with right-wing nationalism", I'm just so used to nationalism being synonymous with right nationalism. You're right that Rojava does hold left-wing nationalist values (although not very pronounced).

That's just being pedantic and putting words in my mouth, i never said such a thing. I get that you don't like me, that's okay, but please save your bitterness for later. We really don't need that right now.

Alright. Are you completely sure that buying a new domain and abandoning Raddle is a good solution? I really doubt it would fix anything. Letting ziq generously host it all haven't caused any issues yet (besides the fact that Raddle could go offline at any moment), the real issue seems to be ziq's alts and the moderation/administration system, none of which would be fixed with a new domain.

You hit the nail on the head.
Where is Raddle being hosted right now? Does the community have any preferences for hosting solutions if someone were to buy a new domain and setup Raddle 2?

Well, they're not any type of nation that we're used to in the western world.
I never said they were anarchist; i said they're deploying many of the same concepts that anarchists (and other libertarian leftists) would also like to see implemented and experimented with. If you want to give Rojava as a whole a label, it would be democratic confederalism as described by Öcalan.
dele_ted wrote
Because Rojava is a collection of genuine de-facto autonomous regions. Many of the factors that anarchists, an-coms and other libertarian leftists would like to see society based on is actually being experimented with there, such as mutual aid, direct democracy, consensus decision-making, armies sans hierarchy, democratic federalism, gender equality etc.
Rojava isn't a nation, and doesn't have much to do with nationalism at all.

I suggest that we somehow get rid of administration and hierarchy. I might be completely wrong, but it seems to me that most of the issues Raddle face are due to the administration system, and the hierarchy that creates. One way to do that would be Konsent, which I think is almost ready for limited beta implementation. That doesn't fix the hosting issues though, and they're probably more urgent right now... I have no idea what to do about that.
What I do know is, until things are more stable, I think we should all make an effort to be a little more tolerant with each other than we usually would be, and to not feed the trolls that seems to appear everywhere lately. I've been pretty bad at these two things myself (specifically I want to apologize to /u/amongstclouds). I'll definitely do my best to avoid anything like that from now on.
edit: I made a new post to discuss the implementation of Konsent here.

Welcome back, thanks for the update. Good to hear of some real radical resistance in practice.
You should share some of your graffiti here! I'm planning to start learning too when i come home next week.

Reply to comment by emma in [META] A word on feature requests by emma
I didn't know front-end was something that required attention, and just assumed i couldn't help, because almost all of the feature requests were about actual features and not front-end changes.
When Konsent is in a working state, or when i get tired of it and need a break, I'll send you a message or just keep an eye on the issue tracker for something i can help with! I'm good with CSS and alright with PSD designs or mockups.

Thank you for your work emma. I wish i could help., but I'm not good with PHP. I'm working every day without exception on Konsent, though, which can hopefully soon blend with the community here.
I don't think the issue is that people don't want to help; most just don't have what it takes. I really hope you don't burn out. If you're losing faith in the project, perhaps you should just take a long break until you're ready again. If you don't, you'll probably come to hate it and never be able to enjoy working on it again.

Reply to [Petition] Bring ziq back as themself by leftous
Support! I'd be happy to have them back. Not as administrator or moderator, though - and not as a front figure for Raddle. Just as a regular community member (as we all should be, really).

Either you stay or you leave. If you want to leave, I'll make a python script that deletes everything for you. If not, that'd be awesome; but it's either or. Saying that you're contemplating to leave and later staying with a "meh" just spreads toxicity.
I hope you decide to stay!

Fact is, though, Facebook won't delete your data even if you show up at their headquarters and fall on your knees in prayer to Mr. Zuckerbot.

Here, too, which is why i (and many other on the libertarian left) feel so strongly for solidarity with Rojava, Afrin especially.
Didn't know that, but it makes good sense. Preach what you practice and practice what you preach.
