the real solution is to avoid discord and hang out with anarchists on matrix :3c

idk what a 'hierarchical' polycule is, but it sounds miserable.
Yeah. A lot of polyamory is sadly hierarchical. Unless people are really putting in the effort for it not to be they end up that way.
Edit: We have heard some terrible stories. This is part of the reason we are solo polyamorous relationship anarchists and try to date only others who are the same way, to avoid all that hierarchy and all those society-based relationship expectations nonsense.
There usually is a hierarchy or preference in poly relationships anyway. It’s more transparent to make it explicit. Then everyone knows what they’re getting into and adjust their expectations.
The hierarchy follows from practical limits on resources like time and attention.
Everybody has expectations when going into a relationships. It’s good to talk about them and see what can be satisfied.
It can be as simple as a married couple with side flings. I don't think its inherently bad, but the idea of having a full polycule with a set hierarchy definitely feels weird.
Whatever makes people happy I guess
Sadly, in hierarchical relationships usually at least one person is treated like shit. So personally we do see them as very much bad.
how dare you call me out like this in public :3c
anytime 😘
Where could one find these anarchist matrix communities I've heard so many good things about?
while i will not officially endorse any here, there is a 196 server...
Oh god you found the chat for a literal dumpster. Seriously though, fuck 196 and their Tankie bullshit
I personally run one, its called LibertyHub. Its a community focused on freedom, workers liberation, true workers democracy, revolution, resistance, and the abolition of unjust hierarchies.
