I'm an AnSyn as well though. I just disagree that taking the liberal approach of respecting monopolistic laws like copyrights and patents when it is to benefit the petit bourgeoisie has any revolutionary potential. Sure I agree that everyone deserves to live, and those who are affluent enough to support other workers should do so, but they should try to bypass exploiting capitalist practices whenever possible. Just funding a small studio, so that they can become a successful capitalist later on, is counter productive. Therefore, claiming that respecting liberal market culture is somehow more AnCom, is baffling to me.

And whatever you think culture is, it still encompasses the parts which are behind a paywall. And if someone doesn't have money to access them, I fully support them pirating it instead.

No one talked about respecting copyright or patents.

For me personally piracy is pretty much irrelevant as I don't find most of what mainstream culture produces to be very interesting and don't mind paying some producers of non-mainstream culture directly if that helps them survive in this capitalist hellscape.

And from a more revolutionary perspective you could even argue that copyright works in our favour as most of the culture behind the paywall is subtile propaganda for capitalism and definitly acts as a pacifier that distracts and isolates people.

But personally I think piracy is a good example of anarchist calistenics, so I don't mind people doing it.

Sure, I just take issue that any of this means our instance is "Anarchist-individualist" and whatnot. We are accepting of non-anarchist users with the aim to educate and agitate, but our ethos, even when our stance on piracy or GenAI is involved, has always been communistic.
