『she hacked you』 is like a pokèmon, evolving into a larger + more complex
community project SHY originally was only free educational computer science
courses streamed live weekly; needing music for the stream, it became a music
project, needing a community to tie everything together so there would be
students and not an empty stream; I begun social media presence like on
mastodon.social. Then overtime that has begun to change what the project is and
means; and it has become more of a community. Will it work? Who knows, probably
not, but we can only know if we try ## About Us A community primarily made of
various scientists, makers, hackers, communists, socialists, ecologists,
mycologists, journalists, artists, arsonists, writers, environmentalists, witch
apologists, engineers, activists, narco-terrorists, night-timers, day-dreamers
and party-crashers Different backgrounds, and beliefs; but what binds us
together is the concern/care for other humans, and other creatures around us.
Refusing to be bystanders in our universe Objective facts are important to us
b/c of our feelings All languages/cultures/nationalities/identities are welcome:
please join us and share your unique perspective, thoughts, posts, and
interesting links ### Rules Essentially none; you are free to be stupid, free to
post just about anything Our goal is to mimic freedom of expression found on the
early internet; but that is also freedom to endlessly ridicule, embarrass,
insult and shame if you create stupid or hateful posts But preferably, cultivate
Interpersonal communication skills, be comfortable when incorrect, and learn
from other people Racist, fascist, and classical nazi to neo-nazi-- will wish
you got banned; instead of consequences like suddenly bricked devices ###

decision, anyone is welcome to contact me via direct message or email:
ekis@shehackedyou.com [ekis@shehackedyou.com] I gladly accept love letters, but
I’m not so fond of death threats; but don’t censor yourself. Use XMPP? Join our
chat shy@muc.xmpp.chat Or, reach me directly at shehackedyou@xmpp.chat ###
Support & Donations Contributing financial support does make a difference via
paypal [https://paypal.me/shehackedyou] or via ko-fi
[https://ko-fi.com/shehackedyou] Support enables this community to continue
growing; while never featuring advertisements, pay-walls. Enable continuous
improvement full-time And, of course, you can shower me with your cryptocurrency
You were able to make obscene amounts in cryptocurrency? Then why haven’t you
sent me some already? I’m offended I will take whatever esoteric fork-coin or
token you want to gift me; don’t regale me with tales of its extraordinary
magical properties, just send it. bc1qwwrxcyphm5wq5cwft9vd40vxd0n5d2kzcluw3j ###
Want to moderate? Reach out; even if this doesn’t provide a platform for
long-form posting like originally intended if a community nucleates around it,
growth will be encouraged and interesting things will be found here.
There are a lot of leftist communities, there are a lot of science communities, but not many leftist hacker/scientist/engineering communities because those types of communities are often libertarian and believe in tech saviourism bullshit
even if you just want to learn, we can help you, teach you computer science, programming, or just want to hear what communist hackers are up to
like i’m pro bitcoin, pro taking bitcoins from libertarians and selling it back to them.never buy, always sell.
I used the word hacker, but honestly i hate the word hacker:
"If you know me at all
You know my very negative associations with the word #hacker
Despite 2600 efforts; label has caused me a lot of pain + grief + hardship
Why almost laughable when ppl on the internet self label that
Put that in your profile when w/o even accused of a crime- you show up to your house to find intelligence agents sitting around waiting for you" - Ekis (creator of shy community)
I personally like that anarchist shot presidents but I can’t speak for everyone in the community. I love mutual aid, and I feel anarchist have been some of the most effective at demonstrating effectiveness of their tools in crises.
I personally worry that anarchism could enable corporate power or some other super organism style organization to take control. That is why I feel communism is necessary, because you can’t leave that power vacuum open, its better to have a system to organize things.
I kinda lean more anarcho-communism though; I would prefer a type of communism that let you do what you wanted; and while I have a lot of respect for Soviet science and sceintists; I don’t know if creating a superior man is a good goal; though our environment shapes us weather we want it too or not, so in some ways you can’t escape it, you either get changed passively or actively.
And I agree with Bookchin in a way, I don’t want to get into the details because it will definitely start a larger discussion (possibly even people yelling at me) than I can handle right now (I’m having some medical issues); but I have an idea for a decentralized communalism and communist project, I have sketched it out but never modeled it or anything. I considered writing a comicbook about it.
Many hackers and computer scientists are anarchist. Ill add it to the sidebar.
I like anarchist, I used to identify as one, but as I got older I see communism as the only way to stop total cascading ecological collapse, and we probably wont have enough time to fix it.
Like there are two major problems we face and we don’t really talk about: 1 is “the greatest generation” fucking booby trapped the entire fucking planet with planet killing bombs. I like to ask people “whats your favorite part of the nuclear triad” at parties, as you see people dont talk to me much at parties. So that needs to be resolved otherwise, the infrastructure and just probability of accidental explosions of not nuclear weapons, THERMOnuclear weapons which are entirely different beast. And the US specialized in dirty bombs so if one of theirs goes off accidentally, like that area would become an exclusion zone.
Sometimes I consider building a darknet website where you bet on witch silo is going to have a malfunction (one in Arkansas almost did in the 90’s; and we have dropped many from planes accidentally on US territory, and by sheer luck they didn’t explode) because wherever it happens, like if its Seattle for example or some place along the southern east coast, or San Diego where they are manufactured, it would dramatically change the political map of the US.
To be brief: climate change, or better said climate instability, is a small component in a web of problems that are about to fuck us so hard that the niche we live in as a species is going to close up or shrink so much that it will redefine what hell world means.
Honestly any belief is welcome, even liberals can come post, but we will make fun of them relentlessly and shame them. I don’t really care if it converts them but it would allow the community to demonstrate why some X liberal idea is fucking stupid and build a list of arguments that can be refined and used in later conversations.
If you are ever up for it Id actually like to talk to you more about Bookchin, he is an interesting fellow. Probably best by XMPP or Email; I think we could have an interesting discussion truly. Now I got to get on anonymous and get the guys books, I feel ignorant and not well read all of a sudden.
I go into Bitcoin to fuck with libertarians, no joke, but there are libertarians that I feel like could be political allies and are not insane corpratist, or want trillionaires to exist. Finding that common ground is important for creating a political coalition, just need a good way to filter out the ones that we could work with and avoid the rest because they seem mostly concerned about how you can have sex with a 16 year old in Germany and the UK but not in the US.
Thank you for the question, it let me learn more about Bookchin and I will definitely read his books; even if I disagree which I may not, it sounds interesting and he sounds like we start from the same foundation: anti-capitalism. So we have important common ground.
Wow thank you for the super detailed response! I’ll definitely be subbing and I agree with a lot of what you said though I’m not going to follow all of it up. I will say that if you haven’t already you should check out Rojava and ‘democratic confederalism’ for a real world example of some of Bookchins ideas in practice. Robert Evans goes into really great detail of it in his limited run podcast “The Women’s War”
And I just can’t help myself but recommend The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow. One of the most incredible and eye opening books I’ve read on human societies, and it’s not anarchist in my opinion more like a reframing of how we think about civilizations of the past and the people that made them up
