Today I am announcing the official end to WildFyre will take place at the end of this year (Dec 31st) at which point I will be shutting down services related to WildFyre which I own

My intention here as well is to make sure @laurent_treguier is properly prepared, as well the recommendation here would be to use Fyreplace from here on out

It's been a blast, wish we could've done more for you all, and I hope this will give you all enough time to capture/save any related data from WildFyre that you wish

If you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out to me

The next iteration: Plag → Sola → WildFyre → Fyreplace

Use Fyreplace. Link below Highly recommended. It's inspired by one of the best and long buried social media apps called Plag**/Sola. No followers, just random content. Inspiring, thought-provoking, funny. Great community.

Howdy there new folks coming in 👋
For anyone wondering what Fyreplace is, it's a reimagining of WildFyre, which was itself inspired greatly by Plag/Sola.
The app is in public beta, links are here if you're interested: https://fyreplace.net

Let's drop some knives into that cage

As tensions escalate between the Wagner private military force and the official Russian military, one can't help but think of the civil war that erupted in Sudan between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (described here: https://crimethinc.com/Sudan).

This is where militarization leads. As governments and corporations are relying more and more on brute force to suppress social unrest and channeling more and more resources towards police and private security towards that end, they are creating the conditions for horrific civil wars on an ever-widening scale.

This gives us another lens through which to read the events of January 6, 2021 in Washington, DC (see https://crimethinc.com/January6). It also drives home the importance of the fight to #StopCopCity and block the militarization of the police.

Since the statements that we published from anarchists in Russia were composed, Yevgeny Prigozhin has announced that his forces that were bound for Moscow have turned around, following negotiations with the ruler of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko.

Prigozhin may have bitten off more than he can chew, but so has Putin in Ukraine—or else he would not have needed Prigozhin in the first place. It remains to be seen how this crisis will play out in Russia in the long run. In Turkey, the failed coup attempt of 2016 enabled President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to consolidate power, but any sign of weakness and disunity can only imperil Putin. The volatile and unpredictable situation that our comrades predict in Russia is likely still ahead of us. It will be for the best if the forces contending in it are not two rival totalitarian despots, or at least, not *only* them.
