There’s a general selection bias in the fediverse, and the idea of decentralizing power is pretty communistic and also pretty beneficial to people who feel oppressed (transgenders).
Most new waves have a strong bias when you think about it. For example, crypto has a strong tilt towards Libertarianism and deregulation
Communism is defined as stateless. Karl Marx said that while a vanguard party may be a path to achieve communism, it’s not communist until the state is dissolved. Until then, it’s socialist.
I think it’s a mixed bag. While anarchistic approaches do lean that way (and there’s a lot more I need to learn about it beyond the nonsense I was told in school), the communist ideology also gave a lot of power to workers, but on the flip side, taking the approach of a centrally planned economy requires a concentration of power. So, the world is full of contradictions, I guess

Strange. I thought decentralized power is anarchistic. Kind of opposite to historical communist regimes.
You’ll find no shortage of irony in the Lemmygrad scene, I assure you.
