As a result of this community’s existence on a site that is often hostile to its ideas, we’ll be implementing a new rule:
4. This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.
Contained and respectful debate on the topic can certainly be useful, though. If anyone creates a community specifically for that kind of thing, I’d be glad to pop it in the sidebar.
I think there needs to be a /Leftist_Infighting community made where people can go and argue with each other, and then come back to their safe places to vent and be amongst people of the same mind? I feel like that would be useful.
*edit: I just created it: https://lemmy.ml/c/leftistinfighting

Hot take - this would be better on mander since it federates with rightwing instances and lemmygrad.

Pretty sure it’s not possible

specifically, i can’t figure out if lemmygrad can post there. And lemmygrad / rightwingers would be the most interested in debating anarchism

Given this is correct, i’m a bit torn. I think the sub would have much more activity on gtio, but people would straight up get called slurs i’d imagine.
If you make debate anarchism or even debate socialism there, i’d support it. But i’d also support you not making it either lmao!

What’s gtio?
Also, I just created c/LeftistInfighting for debates and stuff. Hoping to keep it pretty light in there, and if anyone gets out of hand they’ll be booted to cool off. We’ll see how it goes.
since it’s designed for that, imo, it’d have more debate there. Downside, i’m not sure if other instances can even post there
