Launching the AZ Indymedia Coordination and Events Site

Article image
This site was built to help with local coordination. Whether in Arizona or on the moon or anywhere between. Social media has made finding groups, friends and others tedious. Social and political events are almost impossible to keep track. So, we are updating the old way with a new framework. You will notice that in the coming weeks this project will become downloadable and usable by anyone. This is by design.

Arizona Indymedia is an open platform for anarchist coordination, mutual aid, and organizing across Arizona. Anyone can submit announcements, and events directly to the site — no account required. If you want your posts to publish instantly without moderation, you can register as a Group user, which gives you a saved username, immediate publishing, and the ability to edit your own posts after the fact. Commenters can register for a named account to participate in discussions with a verified username and star badge next to their name. All content is reviewed.

For groups and organizers, the platform makes it straightforward to get the word out. Submit an event with a date, time, and location — it will appear on the public calendar and the front page newswire. Post announcements, reports, or calls to action with images attached. Comments are open on every post. The site is built to be low-barrier and community-controlled — no algorithms, no ads, no corporate intermediaries. Just a direct line to connect.

Thanks for putting effort into this resource. I believe an RSS feed for the index page and possibly calendar page would be helpful.

Thank you for the feedback. We have a calendar though! Its linked in multiple places and on the left side bar. When making a post you can choose "event" add date/time and it will automatically be placed on the calendar. https://azindymedia.org/calendar.html Do you people still use RSS? I was going to include it in version 1 but really didn't know if its still something people use

I don't know how many people use it. I'm guessing that a tech blog would measure more RSS requests than, say, a music blog. Everyone who uses an actual podcast app is using it whether they know it or not. But people who are concerned with privacy should use RSS. Especially if the point is to escape mainstream social media, where there was/is actual utility in the form of new post notifications. I host an RSS aggregator on a private server outside AZ. The domain that points to the server is not descriptive of anything in particular. That way, my awful megacorp ISP knows nothing of the subversive material traversing their wire. They only see encrypted traffic to a data center that is known to provide hosting services. Saguaros and Sabotage has an RSS feed URL, even though it isn't advertised openly on their page; it's found in the page source (maybe a default wordpress setting or something). I discovered your site from their Links section. :-)

An RSS feed was added, this site is not on the main autonomies network so it will take a few days to get an update. But it is here: www.autonomies.net and on the network sites.

I was just wondering the same thing, RSS is awesome and definitely would fit a site like this, esp considering that the default autonomies layout includes RSS. What's the URL for this page's RSS feed? You said it was added, but I can't find it ><
