“slightly”.
That’s being very nice. The correct word would be anarchist.

It seems like a lot of Lemmy users are slightly radical american “leftists”. This is an example of this on Lemmy.world. It seems that some users see Lemmy as a forum for politicly “left”-leaning americans, not a general purpose forum. Maybe some people prefer an echo chamber?

I haven’t seen a single anarchist on Lemmy. Not even one.
The most obvious group, and the one this thread is about, is about as far as it’s possible to get from being anarchists.

“eat the rich” “destroy the institutions”
Etc… That’s not left. Insinuating killing it destroying societies is, by definition, anarchist.
Socialism, Communism are about change, not control or jealousy.

I don’t think you understand anarchism.
Rottcodd@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No - anarchism, by definition, is the complete absence of institurionalized authority.
Those around here who are calling for the destruction of institutions have no intention of creating a society free from the hierarchy of authority - they want to destroy the current authority merely so that they can replace it with their own.
Again, they’re about as far as it’s possible to get from being anarchists. They’re as authoritaroan as fascists - they just have a different set of norms they want to forcibly impose, and a different set of people they’re eager to oppress and murder along the way.

The far left majority on here truly believe Reddit is right leaning 😂. Despite site wide banning anyone who dares to question the far left ideologies, they’re far right apparently.

Some lemmy instances are explicitly leftist and that’s something we all just need to accept. You can block those instances or you interact with them, but it’s not anyone’s place to tell an instance how to do things on their own server. There are general purpose instances as well.

I hate the political landscape on Lemmy. The fact that their are people who are unironically communists shows the lack of political maturity in those groups

This is especially true for lemmy.ml. Political arguments and circlejerking sometimes start in completely unrelated topics and comments literally saying that every right winger is a fascist get lots of upvotes. It's like a distilled version of some far left subreddits.

Fediverse can be confusing. But your link appears to be a post on !memes@lemmy.ml not world.
Lemmy.ml and lemmygrad, as well as the Lemmy software stack were started by leninists after getting pushed off reddit. If you don’t like it. And even as a leftist I can understand that. Since leninists tend to be blind, dogmatic, and somehow more authoritarian than a large chunk of capitalists. Block and avoid the domain. If you wander into their domain and push back. Be prepared for toxicity. Just like you yourself would likely give if they wandered into your areas and admonished you.
