TOTW: 20 Years of Anarchist News

Topic of the Week – Around 20 years ago the Anarchist News (ANews) website launched on the Internet with the header tagline of “even anarchists get the news.” Since then, a lot has changed with the website, but much of ANews also remains the same. This week we’re celebrating 20 years of Anarchist News and having a conversation about this website, anarchist news, and the Internet.

What's New with Anarchy Planet IRC/Matrix

Almost five years ago we resurrected the Anarchy Planet IRC in an attempt to create a new space for anarchist chat. Anarchy Planet IRC has been around in various iterations on and off since 2005ish or so. We're still around, only now we also have Matrix, a modern federated chat with lots of bells and whistles and GUIs for those who prefer those kinds of things. The two are bridged together--There are IRC-only channels and Matrix-only channels, and there are channels where the two are intertwined; you can join IRC and chat with Matrix users and vice versa.
