I’m aware of some stuff like that some instances have defederated from others for anti-communism (lemmy.world / hexbear.net), but that’s where my knowledge ends.

I’m looking to understand what instances to be aware of, each instances’ political leaning, defederation etc.

    I was unaware. I assumed that if I can see them, they can see me, which is obviously stupid especially since I’m familiar with the fediverse. Other than .world and blahaj, what other communities have defederated from us, hexbear, and .ml?

        Even their website mentions that Lemmy devs are “controversial” just because they are Marxists. And to add to that, their users are fucking loud about using piefed.

      dbzer0 and SJW I believe are defederated from us as well. Hex is federated with dbzer0 due to the anarchist overlap, but defederated from the SJW, .world, and blahaj. Lemmy.ml is federated with nearly everything, which is why I use it for agitprop.

          Agitational propaganda. Essentially where communists will assert our views and argue against the failures of capitalism and imperialism. I personally do it by identifying radicalized liberals and try to gently introduce them to Marxist concepts, use Lemmy.ml’s communism community to host my introductory ML reading list, and try to debunk and riposte anti-communist arguments, defend AES from uncritical slander, etc.
