      ML exclusive

        dbzer0 seems to be mostly about piracy: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/?dataType=Post&listingType=Local&page=1&sort=New

          Yeah, the long story is that an anarchist named ziq set up Raddit.me (now Raddle.me) at the end of 2016 as a Reddit alternative.

          I haven’t been over there in years but I’m assuming that’s where the majority of anarchists who use a Reddit-alternative are, in part because ziq does a lot of scaremongering about Lemmy.

          Ziq has a… colourful history and it seems as though they deleted this post and went back to being an admin at some point, although I’m not sure when exactly because when I got wind of the Raddle drama I just backed away from all of it permanently.

          But suffice it to say that I think anarchists are underrepresented in Lemmy because they tend to gravitate towards Raddle instead.
