Do you think the mostly limited range of political views is a strength or a weakness of Lemmy? (For example, in terms of attracting new users.) (feddit.nl)

Sure, there are always outliers and you can correct me if I'm wrong, but that's just the overall impression I have.

(I wasn't sure if !asklemmy@lemmy.world or this community would fit better for this kind of question, but I assume it fits here.)

db0 is real anarchists, as far as I can tell. Because they are not overbearing about it, it's harder to be aware of them.

I think by definition, it's easier to be aware of the "official" self-identified anarchist communities than the ones that are just doing their own thing.

I assumed that they were at least anarchism-adjacent - it's pretty much a prerequisite for the bulk of their focus.

I hadn't really looked into their political posting much though, and yeah - even with just a cursory glance, it's promising.

And I hadn't thought about that distinction between people who simply hold a position and people who "officially" wear the label in the context of anarchism (though I've noted it often with atheists), but yeah, there's undoubtedly some truth there.

Thanks for the heads-up.

The slrpnk admins, as far as I can tell, stand in the same relationship to anarchism that your average megachurch organization does with Christianity.

If all you look at is the words, it looks like they're supporting it.
