As has been mentioned, the project is basically dead. And where not dead, has become virtually the personal blog of extremists or people with agenda's that have nothing to do with Indymedia's principles. Examples: cyprus.indymedia.org or http://www.cyprusindymedia.org/cyprus-indymedia-Invitation-english.htm

Looks like it's a vanity project of Petros Evdokas, a guy detained in 2005: https://cyprus-mail.com/2015/07/22/bloggers-computers-seized-over-spoof-patsalis-resignation-letter/
Cyprus "indymedia" moved to blogspot(which doesn't sound very anti corporate of them): http://cyprusindymedia.blogspot.com/
Other projects taken over include Dc Indymedia, which has moved to a registration model and hasn't been updated since 2014. dc.indymedia.org
The Portland Indymedia Collective is problematic for completely different reasons. It's reportedly run by one individual deeply active in the fringe conspiracy scene and has been archived as hosting repeated anti Semitic material. Former members reported it was taken over by Right Wing extremists in 2016: https://indymedia.org/en/2016/01/986897.shtml http://archivo.argentina.indymedia.org/uploads/2016/01/pdximc-racists-facebook.jpg
