There’s plenty of Anarchist and non-ML communities on .ml and hexbear. The hardcore Maoist stuff doesn’t apply to most of the communities on .ml. Either way though, the communities they do have isn’t as relevant to federation for lemm.ee since the admins stated they only consider defederation for activities on lemm.ee. Which again, I would say lemmy.world and other instances have had just as much of a problem. That’s relevant because in that case, if we’re defederating .ml/hexbear, logically we should defederate .world.
Every day on this site I see people who are into transphobia (“I don’t believe in trans people” I shit you not is something I’ve seen), Palestinians ethnic cleansing, want to get rid of healthcare, all that Project 2025 and “ancap” stuff. And they’re mostly from lemmy.world and sometimes instances like sh.itjust.works. Their propoganda seems to prove far more consequential on the site, as most people will think you’re a lunatic if you say China is a free and democratic nation, but a lot of people will buy what is now mainstream far-right propoganda and culture war nonsense. Although both of those will tell Americans to not vote for Kamala.
When reddit was the main alternative and Lemmy.ml was the main server? Sure. Even if both groups are administered by authoritarians. At least nominally leninists have a couple more things that they like to pretend they have in common.
That doesn’t mean the group’s over there were healthy or well established. You have to tiptoe around the egos of those in the in group. And criticizing the flaws of their ideology would get you banned from communities and or the server quickly.
The reason people want to de-Federate with ML and related servers is literally their administration. Not just people on the server. Are there problems with people on world? Absolutely. But I doubt you see rud or any of the admins as part of it and enabling it. Literally in your own words. They’ve kind of been too open and you don’t like some of the people that they have allowed to be on their server. You’re OKAY with cultish authoritarians who pretend to be trans friendly. Till they find some reason to call the person a secret capitalist liberal etc etc etc and ban them. I’d rather be part of a community that would risk letting in a few transphobes etc. Rather than one that cannot take self-reflection or self-criticism without lashing out against those who level it.

‘Anarchists’ who are plenty okay with authoritarianism.
