- lemmy’s two main developers are marxist-leninists
- the largest and most active instance prior to the reddit exodus was hexbear, which is a “big tent” of revolutionary leftism, featuring mostly communists and some anarchists
- lemmygrad, an explicitly marxist-leninist instance, is also relatively large
And to speak to grad and hexbear, a large part of the reason there are commies here is because they were driven off other platforms. Hexbear and Grad are both decendent from active communities that reddit banned.
Seeing all the scaremongering about those communities here reminds me of the old comic. :
This is fascinating to me. Thank you. Do you have some insight into how the leadership and centralisation of power dilemma of traditional leninist ideology is reconciled within the fed? I noticed many of my student groups running into issues with the concept.
The fediverse isn’t a political organization that’s going to enact change in the real world, so those concerns largely aren’t relevant. Admins (and devs) generally speaking do hold a monopoly of power but that’s the standard for the internet.
