Why is the solarpunk memes community on this instance filled with such massively anti-left folks?

    I’d argue Lemmygrad is worse than .ml

    .ml has people on it that aren’t into politics or that discuss other things, due to having been the largest instance when the Reddit api fiasco happened. Many people choose to stay there simply out of laziness or reasons other than ideology.

    Lemmygrad and Hexbear are, on the other hand, explicitly political and have certain ideologies as themes which inherently create conflict/discourse with people of other ideologies.

    On that note, is slrpnk open registration now? It wasn’t when I joined Lemmy, .ml was the only one I could join at that time.

      We focus on quality over quantity, so membership on SLRPNK requires you answer questions and wait for your application to be reviewed by a human. I don’t know how you define open registration, but that’s been our policy for over a year now.

        Oh, that’s cool! I think they were fully closed when I tried to join due to the huge influx of users, but it’s a very fair method of admitting new users then!
