    Oh yea, Project is effectively dead now. all the other maintainers are organizing a new fork and telling people to charge back their open collective donations. the wider Minecraft modding community is already warning users away.

    Unfortunately I have only heard unconfirmed rumors about the MultiMC Dev. the PolyMC page about the fork is still up though https://polymc.org/news/moving-on/

    Mostly the MultiMC dev was just a jerk to the contributors who forked and made them want to leave

    in a way. a parent/child analogy still has an implicit assumption of who will take up that authority role. it's more like a group of friends who pull the drinks and drag the outrageously drunk asshole friend home.

    yeah, the just/unjust distinction is a poor way to phrase it. it's more than all hierarchy is unjust but some "hierarchy" can be temporarily and justly created in the process of enacting the consensus will but it is removed once the need for it goes away. the assumption is to question the need at every step.

    an anarchist reaction would be largely the same. the difference is that the "dictatorship of the proletariat" would be established only when and as needed and when there was no threat, it would be dismantled at all other times.

    The US structures of city -> county -> state -> nation would be a good example of a functional anarchistic structure if not for the supremacy doctrine that reverses the priority of power.

    TBH I'm not sure what the right move would be if a neighboring community started being oppressive and reactionary, my instinct is that the neighbors band together and stomp it out. but if it started happening under a participatory democratic system (not just voting on everything but real consensus discussion) I think it may just be that anarchism has failed.

    anarchist philosophy rejects unjust hierarchy. The general consensus is that hierarchies established democratically can be just if their goals are for the general good. There are many branches of anarchism that advocate for different standards for how to determine what is just and for the general good.

    Personally, I advocate for self-determinism and mutuality. Anarchists can still have a kind of "state" but they will tend to be small and localized. Laws would be democratically established inside those small communities and valid when inside that comunity.
