    Okay. Why is Lemmy.world defederated from hexbear and lemmygrad if lemmy is inherently leftist? Why is beehaw defederated from lemmy.world?

      have you never organized with leftists? i was in one organization that formed in 2020 that, by early 2021 was two DIFFERENT organizations (both abandoning even the old name) (lets call them “b” and “c”), and then c splintered, and became c and d, then c splintered again and became c and e. as far as i know, b doesn’t exist at all anymore, nor does c or d. there was one more splintering that took place within c, leading to an organization f. but for a few moments, we were all gloriously at each others’ throats.

      so, to answer your question, i don’t know the particulars of their schisms, but i’m sure that they have good reason.

      major edit:

      i just want to say while group c had a lot of good theory and experience organizing, group b was the best of us, and all they did was look out for each other. they might not have had analysis, but they did the fucking work. the rest of us were committed marxists and anarchists, and that fact got in the way of doing real work. pour one out for the people who did the work.
