  • **decentralization, collaboration, and the empowerment of individuals. **

    Allowing anyone to inspect and modify the code promotes accountability and enables customization to meet specific needs andan anarchist society promotes decentralization and self-governance. It envisions a society without hierarchical structures of power, where individuals have the freedom to make decisions collectively and autonomously.

    voluntary cooperation, mutual aid, and direct action

    Both open source software and an anarchist society share a commitment to community-driven collaboration. They prioritize the idea that power and knowledge should be distributed among the people rather than concentrated in the hands of a few. Both emphasize the importance of individual autonomy and the rejection of centralized authority.

    I think there’s significant overlap however

    differences

    While open source software operates within the existing legal frameworks and capitalist systems, an anarchist society envisions a radical transformation of those systems. Anarchism strives for a society where power is decentralized and decision-making is based on consensus, direct participation, and voluntary cooperation.

    That’s not to say they don’t influence one another…

    Both offer alternative approaches that aim to empower individuals and foster a more inclusive and participatory society.

    I’m just getting into it myself, the fediverse seems more like what I’m looking for in terms of social media/forums. Usenet is good for binaries but there’s some interesting discussion there too
