I’m wondering about making a voidpunk community here on slrpnk.net. I’ve got a bit on my plate to handle moderating it right now but it’s a serious consideration for me later in the year. Is it a good idea? Do any of you here identify as such as well? I consider myself part of both communities.

    Hey I never heard about voidpunk, can you maybe explain a little bit what that means to you?

    Besides that I think you can start a community here any time as long as it fits within the server rules. I hope you try that out. :D

    In the fediverse it sometimes heavily matters because small communities dont get discovered by user of other instances/servers easily.

    For your specific question I would encourage you to also (cross)post it to !meta to reach most of the users on this instance/server. I think just leaving it here, your question might not get seen by many.

    There are also big communities like !newcommunities@lemmy.world which might help you find others interested in voidpunk.

      Very informative reply, thank you! I’m a total noob to the fediverse, tbh. My understanding so far is that voidpunk is the rejection of all standard (or majority) culture. I believe it technically encompasses all alternative ideologies and identities but seems most specific to those facing dehumanization and/or derealization. It’s a spooky and often quite sad side of punk. It’s taken over a majority of my artwork the last few years so I’ve been feeling… drawn to the community.
