It has been proposed a few times I guess, and while Lemmy.ml seems to be not actively hostile against “us”, I would say it is very much in line with the anarchist idea to decentralize and become self-sufficient.
However so far no one seems to have stepped up to actually run such an instance, or am I overlooking something?
I personally have thought about it (I have a quirky 3 letter domain name that I would find fitting and also run my own servers), but to be honest I am not deeply embedded in the anarchist community (more of an anacho-individualist in that sense, despite being in favor of syndicalism in theory) and probably also have some other unpopular opinions in some ways. I am also a somewhat grumpy old white male not very keen on moderating community drama.
tl;dr: I think it would be cool to have something like that, but I fear that me starting (and mostly running) it would soon not be very popular and I am also hesitant having to deal with the likely hassle of running something like that.
makes a lot of sense. lemmy.161.social is a anarchist instance, but focused on german content.
Hmm, yes they also have a few english speaking communities. Do you know anything more about their background? Seems Berlin Antifa based?
But IMHO they seem mainly (European/German) Antifa focused, which has a certain overlap with anarchists, but really isn’t the same. But that might not matter so much.
they are from this community: old.reddit.com/r/dachschaden
(so no its not berlin antifa based, its a general leftist german speaking community, berlin is just a big city with many people, so much happening there^^)
