I feel like 75% of Mastodon are people talking about Linux. If you don’t care about Linux you feel alienated. I enjoy Mastodon and Lemmy, but the lack of more diverse subjects gets to me if I browse for too long.

Update: I took your advice and purchased a laptop for Linux, and now I care about it! Problem solved.

      The implication here is that anarchists are relatively common on the fediverse, and if so, it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve seen this idea expressed.

      But the thing is that I am an anarchist, and I’ve been keeping my eyes open, and I haven’t seen any other anarchists here. LOTS of authoritarian leftists, ranging from naive social democrats to full-blown “submit or die” tankies, but not one single other anarchist.

      So are you actually trying to say that anarchists are common here? And if so, where are they?

        I fully agree that the majority of Lemmy users (and probably Mastodon, though I haven’t checked) appear to be authoritarian Marxists, but both my local syndicates and the international workers confederation ICL-CIT have active Mastodon presences, so there’s definitely an effort by anarchists to move away from corporate-owned communications platforms. Could do without the marxist-leninists though, who sadly seem to make up 100% of the Lemmy dev team.

          I don’t spend any time on Mastodon.

          Why? Are there anarchists on Mastodon? Or is this some kind of sarcasm I’m not getting?

          I do have a Mastodon account, but I never use it. I much prefer forums over microblogs.

            That would probably be why you’re having difficulties finding anarchists on Mastodon. “If you want your boomerang to come back well first you’ve got to throw it.”
