I feel like a lot of Lemmy is basically armchair anarchism of people that feel left out by society one way or the other so they call out billionaires, warmongers, just generally people who have decided on our world’s course for the last two millenia or so. But the farthest they’re willing to go is make edgy comments or some out-of-context quote to underline their doom thinking.
I’m not gatekeeping anarchism or saying these people should take violent action, I’m just saying it’s a noticeable trend. Every once in a while you’ll see some anti-immigrant post or something anti-woke and it’ll fee downvoted to oblivion and it’ll be commented on a lot with no real arguments (don’t feed the trolls) but just hate versus hate. Activism achieved for the day.
Or maybe they reject this type of society as it is dumb af, and find a comfort in likewise thinking community? I feel like Lemmy got flooden by people who like to create this image of casted, not normal, nerdy in bad way out of this community.

The one thing I’ve learned the most from lemmy is that I need to spend time offline building community in realspace.
I’ve rejoined my church, connected with local political organizers and started going to the range.
