I'm picturing something like "poor people simping for capitalists" on FB or memes featuring yacht orcas or submarines

It's more of a general meme instance that leans trans, but a good amount of anti-cap memes show up

I don't think you'll find many capitalist on the fediverse. And with the size of lemmy currently, I'd say it can go on any meme community

Try any community on lemmygrad.ml . Saying that those guys are anti-capitalism is an understatement. While I consider myself a socialist and demand free basic necesities for everyone according to their needs and more, those guys are straight up tankies from what i heard, like... going as far as to defend tyranical regimes like china and being apologists for the soviet and maoist regimes, and banning you if you dare to say china bad. .. so yeah dont go there in my opinion... unless you are a tankie yourself in which case... have fun i guess.

the biggest meme community has had plenty of that and people seem to enjoy. I'd say start there.

everywhere needs more content right now so be the change you want to see and make some anti-capitalist memes :)

You could always make one. And moderate it reponsibly.

sh.itjust.works has defederated from lemmygrad.ml. The hard fact is that you cannot view or participate in their communities from this instance.

Yeah I wouldn't touch that instance with a 10 foot pole. If you talk there then other people might assume your instance is "one of them"

I'm be honest there's all this debate about defederation but not much people having discussions on politics, society and systems of power.

People want different things out of the fediverse, and I've noticed some people aren't terribly interested in recognizing that. Lemmygrad and Beehaw are very interesting case studies in people using this technology to create a space that serves their needs and wants rather than the lowest common denominator.

Lemmy is essentially forum software. It can be connected to other instances, but it’s not mandatory. Creating a stand-alone site that isn’t connected to anywhere else is a perfectly legitimate use, if that’s what someone wanted to do.

[–] Fibby 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Whats the deal with Beehaw? It looks like it's a bit more strict on hate speech/discrimination but that doesn't seem very alienating.

I get how lemmygrad is polarizing though.

Beehaw does not take the standard approach to moderation. The biggest problem is that their team is literally like four people and the tools don't exist yet for them to handle the amount of users and content that come from federating with larger instances. I understand they're also trying to create a community where moderation is more of a collaborative process than a set of blindly applied rules, and that requires like-minded people. What some people don't particularly understand is, that set of like minded people are typical targets for bad actors on the rest of the internet, and they're interested in a place where that's not a constant concern.

I'm not the target audience for that community, but they've said defederation is a temporary measure, and people need to just let them cook.
