We’ve been running these communities for many years, and over time have built up this simple set of rules for participation with us. please make sure you’re familiar with them so that we don’t have any trouble.
- No one under 18 years old.
- Dont be rude. The people here are some of the most awesome that you will ever meet on the tubes.
- Do not violate US magic spells (laws).
- Do not do anything that might make us interact with any form of law enforcement (gross).
- Each text and voice channel has a specific purpose to keep these cats herded. Please mind what you are posting where according the rules for each location.
- Arguments ought to be about the ideas, not ad homs — and that includes calling peoples actions and positions names.
- Do not report anyone or anything to Discord, Telegram, Signal. Report to admins and mods only.
- Do not spam, scam, doxx, distribute malware, impersonate, or username squat.
- No government employees of any kind including “law” enforcers.
- Commies will be tolerated as long as they remain on their best behavior and may be restricted to the gulag.
- If you are only here to spam some youtube links with no introduction, discussion, or context post them only in the Content Links or Memetic Warfare channels.
- Any chat or voice channel may be taken over at any time by Anarchast staff for the purposes of debate, recording, or any other purpose. When joining a channel listen for a second to make sure recording isnt going on before you start talking.
- If you are here to share media, memes, etc of political vermin or commie garbage post them only in “the gulag” channel where they belong… and remember the hierarchy is watching. ;>
Channel Specific Rules#
Main Chat#
For general hangout and conversation about current events and normal day to day stuff. Some newbies may have deeper conversations here cause they dont know how to use discord. Be patient with them. Creating new voluntaryists is more important than switching to the appropriate channel. No link dropping / spam. Put that in Content Links. This channel is for discussions. No serious debate. Take that to Meat and Potatoes. No extreme stuff, nudity, or stuff that might make the general public we’re trying to invite here to discuss voluntaryism with feel uncomfortable. Be nice. Some of the best people on the planet are here.
Meat and Potatoes#
This is a special channel that is heavily moderated for a specific purpose. Click this link for the full rules and information: The Meat and Potatoes Channel Rules
Safe / Disney Memes Only#
This channel is for sharing your memes fit for the general public on Discord… Only G rated cat and Disney memes are allowed. If you want to converse like adults Discord is not the place. Join the Polynom server. This is not really a joke. Do not post anything that would draw attention from the marxists at Discord.
To get access to this channel you must read and show that you understand and agree to follow these rules by reacting to the post in the “welcome-rules” channel. If you find that you have lost access to this channel it is most likely because you forgot these rules. Its usually not a permanent severe thing; just re-read the rules and contact an admin to request access to the channel again. Repeated problems will of course make your loss of access permanent. Severe problems will likely result in a server ban.
Memetic Warfare#
This is the memetic nexus you’ve been dreaming of. On Discord and on Polynom there are 26 themed channels for every possible meme you could imagine. To get access you have to agree to the rules in the “welcome-rules” channel.
On Discord, you still have to follow their terms of service. Do not post anything that will draw attention from the Marxists at Discord. If you choose to risk getting our server deleted by breaking their terms of service, you will be banned.
Our Polynom server is a totally different story. Here are the only rules for these channels there:
- Look — some of the best jokes and memes are the most offensive ones so knock yourself out. This is the place for that. However, if you just start spamming a bunch of racist / commie / nazi garbage in here you will be told to knock it off. We pay money for this server and are not interested in having our resources used to promote bad ideas.
- Almost all of the meme channels are encrypted. Do not post in encrypted channels without the key. Contact an admin for access.
- Whatever thing inside you that gets offended at things needs to be turned off when in here. For those not wanting the notifications for this channel just mute the channel.
- Dont post anything that Not Governor decides goes too far. Yes. This is subjective and arbitrary. Now you know that going in so dont complain about it. For the record, this has yet to happen—and, no, that is not a challenge to you. 🤣
- Dankest is for the good ones. Stankest is for the ones NOBODY needs to look at. If the other rooms arent obvious to you just ask.
Content Links#
If you are here to drop links to content, yours or otherwise, do that here. Dont go too crazy though. This does not include campaign videos, for non-NAP compliant campaigns (that goes in the gulag with the other filthy commie garbage).
Tactical Nudez / 1337💻h4xx0rz#
- These channels are for chatting about video games, movies, music, technology, and other entertainment stuff.
- Theyre for relaxation and fun with friends. Theyre not for philosophy discussion or debate.
- The voice channels are for grouping up with others for gaming.
- If a group is already using a channel for gaming do not try to hold your own sperate conversations with other people in the same channel as this may make it hard for the people being sweaty tryhards to communicate… Just switch to the other gaming channel.
- Friendly note: if you see Not Governor hanging out in here, he is having some down time with friends. Please do not join and strike up a philosophy conversation, especially not if he’s playing games with other people at the time. If you are looking to have that kind of conversation with him, which he loves of course, you can mention it briefly in voice chat or send him a DM.
Live Streaming Voice#
This channel is for exclusive use by Anarchast staff. You may join without an invitation but should remain muted unless specifically told to unmute. Because there will usually be live streaming or recording happening in these channels there is a zero tolerance policy for problems here. Expect to get kicked or banned swiftly as we will not be able to provide any special attention to you during recording or streaming.
If you are invited to join the stream or asked to speak, please keep the content G rated so that we don’t have any trouble with the various platform terms of services.
The Gulag#
Commies get sent to the gulag… Usually by the Hierarchy Bot. Commies lose access to post elsewhere on the server. They can get out of the Gulag only through multiple acts of penance. The channel doesnt always exist. It is created when needed.
Most people on the server should have this gross place muted. Political garbage, commies, and people busted by the Hierarchy Bot exist here. Shut the door when you go in or out so the smell doesnt stink up the place.
How to Get Access to This channel: You do not want access to this channel.
Example Penances:
- “Landords are bae.”
- “Rent is not theft.”
- “Expropriation of the means of production is theft.”
- “The value of labor is a subjective concept that cannot be stolen.”
- “Communists are filthy looters.”
Too Many Notifications?#
If there is too many notifications going on for your liking, you can turn off notifications on a room by room basis on either Discord or Polynom. (For example, only be notified when memes are posted in the memes channels) Just ask people for help on how to do this.
Telegram and Signal Specific Rules#
These channels are primarily for people that wish to get notifications about Anarchast content and discuss our videos and topics only. These channels are not for debates, long conversations, forwarded messages from other groups, or off-topic stuff because they ping everyone for every message sent leading people to mute them which defeats their purpose. Please use our Discord and Polynom servers for these other purposes. We try to be easy going moderating this stuff, but please help us out and help these channels stay on track.
Server Kicks / Bans#
These rules may be updated at any time, check back often. Severe or repeated issues will get you kicked suspended or banned. Treat these online spaces as if theyre our private property. You are not owed due process, though we will try our best with the time we have available.
We dont have a lot of admins -> because we dont need them -> because the people on this server are generally good people that are kind to each other -> because the people that arent get banned -> because we dont have time for drama -> because we dont have a lot of admins. see how that works? 😂
We have real life productive stuff to do and dont want to have to allocate a bunch of time to moderating a bunch of drama. Mute or block people you dont like. Dont escalate with people breaking the rules, just let us know privately.
We have permanently banned very few people—like 6 people total in over a decade last time I checked. Most people just get kicked from the server the first time as a wake up call. Chill out for a bit and join again. Read the rules. Agree to them. Welcome back.
There are thousands of other servers that put up with drama. This isnt one of them.
Help make this a better place for Voluntaryists!
