apparently r/anarchism has been in lockdown for quite some time now and they link to their own reddit alternative called raddle.me, which is not fediverse integrated, sadly. they also have a long list of alternatives, but lemmy isn’t one of them
That seems to be the case because lemmy’s main dev is a ml. (edit: meaning 'marxist leninist, apologies for not being clear on that)
It’s somewhat sad for me because the whole philosophy of the fediverse is anarchistic in its core, it is how it should be, it is how the internet should work. So I wondered - what are the biggest anarchistic communities in the fediverse so far?
Alright, looked through a bit and I definitely see some of what you’re talking about in https://lemmy.ml/c/worldnews. Some of them I think were downvoted for other reasons, but there’s enough where I see your point. I’d argue that, similar to how the original devs being ML doesn’t mean much, so does one community (or even many) leaning one way. The whole appeal of federation is you/we can find a world news on a anarchist instance, for example, or any world news community that just happens to more closely align. Such an instance could also defed from the authoritarian left instances as well, etc. etc. Since there is no centralized authority on lemmy/the fediverse, there’s quite literally nothing they can do to prevent this.
Trust me, I get that. It’s just that this is one of the largest worldnews forums on the fediverse at the moment, so there aren’t many options yet.
