    Lemmy.world is the biggest instance, and given it being an anti-Marxist instance designed to replicate Reddit, it has the most turbo-radlibs that couldn’t stay on Reddit through the API crisis. Zionism, transphobia, racism, all manner of the worst takes possible. The smuggest people on the Fediverse, and the rudest.

    Sh.itjust.works is 50/50 lib/fascist, NCD and MeanwhileOnGrad push the fascism.

    Lemmy.ca is just landlords.

    Lemm.ee is more of a tool than an instance.

    Lemmy.ml is constantly a struggle session, .worlders outnumber communists and anarchists but the mods side with the communists, so it’s constantly a struggle.

    Grad is grad, doing fine it seems.

    Dbzer0 still pretends to be okay with Marxists, but they can’t support AES. Weird spot, doing okayish.

    Solarpunk is small but has your typical anti-AES anarchist slant, some users are more reasonable than others, which is just a symptom of putting aesthetic over politics.

    Think that does it!

      Stalking your ml profile is a window into the madness of the lemmyverse. I don’t know how you can keep arguing with libs like that.

        It’s an outlet to get out frustration, honestly, though sometimes it leaves me more frustrated. I’ve stated before, Hexbear is by far the more enjoyable instance for me, but I get satisfaction out of calling genocidal libs out or proving some ultraleft “Marxist” wrong about their understanding of Marxism.

        I’ve spoken with a few users, carefully pointing out how by being anti-Marxist but not also being anti-liberal, and further having no links to theory of any sort beyond aesthetic choices, opens them up to opportunism. They seemed to vaguely accept it, hope it can get through to them.

            See, it’s entirely self-driven and egotistical, I get grim satisfaction from asserting my knowledge of theory against the smug liberals. It isn’t healthy, nor is it out of any grander vision, I still haven’t picked a party to join yet. It’s just me being a debatebro, albeit less of one than I used to be on Reddit.

            I appreciate the sentiment, I just think my energy would be more productive elsewhere.

                Checking out both my local FRSO and PSL chapters! I’ve heard “mixed” things resulting in some chapters being great and others being awful for each, so I am trying to investigate on my own more. Hard to do without doxxing myself, haha.

                I appreciate it! I do. However, I can’t deny that I do it for selfish reasons, haha. The Lemmy.world mods started removing my comments calling out the democrats support for genocide though, so that’s even worse.

      Dbzer0 still pretends to be okay with Marxists, but they can’t support AES. Weird spot, doing okayish.

            It was at first, but for some reason dbzer0 is filled with the “Lenin wasn’t a Marxist” and the “Engels wasn’t true to Marx” and the “Marx would’ve been an Anarchist” types. Full respect to our Anarchist comrades for actually reading both Marxist and Anarchist theory, the dbzer0 Anarchists are a different set entirely.

            edit: just realised he’s not advocating for supporting small businesses, he’s actually advocating for supporting large businesses against their larger competitors
