I moved from my initial .world account to .dbzer0 a long time ago just because I wanted to help spread us all out and it had the best community I could find focused on my views around piracy and software freedom. The admin seems a special kind of lunatic, but the community as a whole doesn't seem to lean in any particular direction.
My 2c.
Unfortunately, a cryptofash leadership is inevitably going to create a fascist userbase. I'm already banned from all the popular dbzero comms because your fascist admin doesn't like it when people speak the truth on your instance. Slowly but surely, all those who speak the truth (and thus upset fascists) will be weeded out and all you'll be left with are the fascists.
Totally reasonable approach imo, and even the ridiculous admins in db0 are probably less bad than some of the .world admins from my admittedly hazy memory, since they'd take the same stance on the issue mentioned in this thread (by nature of being reddit-brained) and also several bad stances that db0 admins probably would not take.
I would lightly contradict the other HB user here that there is a little bit of potential for popular opposition to pressure the admins to be less ridiculous, even if it's not nearly as effective online because admins are basically gods of their domain (which is not how real-life politics works, of course).
