I remember being really disappointed that the mods there refused to leave reddit during the protests last June. Today I happened to check reddit and I see the engagement appears to have plummeted.
So it seems the peeps decided to vote with their feet, which is great! However I know there hasn’t been a lot of influx in alternative places like this community, !anarchism@slrpnk.net or even raddle.me.
So where have all the online anarchists gone? What do you think :D
They probably went to some Discord channels 😒
Seem to be quite a few on Mastodon.eg heres a Mastodon instance. https://kolektiva.social/about
And various Lemmy instances?
I suspect US “anarchists” moveed to discord
I went to a Mastodon server where other anarchists are.
Eh, people who liked reddit don’t aways like mastodon/twitter. I am that way myself
anarchism@lemmy.ml seems most active though if I post I tend to do it to m/anarchism on kbin (as you can see I am not sure how best to link these so others get to the right place lol), but yeah, the communities here are definitely less active.
From my perspective I think it comes from the rest of the platform generally being more left leaning than reddit was, so people not needing to keep within the leftist specific communities as much, but as more, less left leaning people, join, I can already feel like I want to interact less in the larger communities and I suspect it isn’t just me, so it’s probably just a matter of time before the leftist specific spaces become more active again…
There’s also !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com
I wish I had more to contribute, but I always feel like I’m rambling and trying to sort things out for myself vs. ever having a distinct point. I’d like to see a more active anarchist community because most of the communities I use aren’t exactly great places to discuss anarchism without getting dunked on.
Edit: Oh wait, we’re in that community lol
They stopped being anarchists I guess or stopped being interested in the discourse around it. Everything is fucked and every other person is some bloodthirsty ghoul either pro Israel or pro Russia one way or another and nothing can be done really.

That’s very unlikely
