Is there an HN but for anarchists? Or maybe just anti-authoritarians?

There's 4chan but for leftists (leftypol) and there's reddit for leftists (lemmy or raddle). I'd also argue Mastodon is kind of twitter for leftists/hackers

Yeah but I want the tech slant as well. I guess something like Chaos Computer Club? Though I don’t know too much about them.

The Atlantic? I kid. I really mean Al-Jazeera.

I think The Atlantic is actually pretty close to the mark. Committed, hardcore ideologues frequently turn out to be authoritarian, even if they refer to themselves as "anarchists". Most of these ideologues are busy administering ever more stringent purity tests to anyone they encounter lest someone in their vicinity commit wrongthink.

There is a name for people who build coalitions through compromise and diplomacy, and work towards pragmatic solutions to actual problems — they're called "centrists".
