Seize the Memes of Production
An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Rules:
Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.
Other Great Communities:

Good, do that.
Anarchy is 'no rulers' not 'no rules'. If someone is going to do something harmful for the community, you don't just let them. You are actively incentivised to stop them, because it's your obligation as a member of the community.
Contrast that to today's system, where if someone wants to release factory run-offs into the local water source you can't stop them and they'll ~~bribe~~lobby some politician to let them do it, while arresting you for protesting it
Right. That sounds like it could be fine. But it seems like it would (d)evolve back into rules when people get tired of re-arguing the same conflicts repeatedly. People would have arguments, write down or remember the results, look back at them when the same kind of problem comes up, and now you've reinvented common law.
Or be very susceptible to tyranny of the majority. "We all decided you can only have the shit-water, so you can leave or fight us all."
The way it was phrased in the meme (which, admittedly, is only a meme) makes it sound like you're not allowed to stop other people.
