@futurebird Not sure what counts as militant, but @everylibrary seems pretty active and is on the fediverse.

@futurebirdI'm assuming for a pro-library organization, to be "militant" means they're NEITHER burning books or papers, NOR locking them away.So:A bunch of "Chuck Finley"s ("He said the same thing is being done at other libraries, too."): https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2016/12/30/to-save-books-librarians-create-fake-reader-to-check-out-titles/All shadow libraries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_libraryCurrently most prominent one: Anna’s Archive: currently https://annas-archive.org ,Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna's_ArchiveDigitization & preservation: @internetarchive Re-publishing: @gutenberg_org Offline distribution: @kiwix
