Yeah because the internet didn't exist in 1925 and you could physically toss people out of a space without moderator approval. If you started being (edit: enough of) an asshole in 1925 anarchist spaces, you would 1000% get kicked out. Also anarchists just don't have the power or influence that we did back in the 1925.
There is a lemmy "anarchist" that reports my posts even in non anarchists spaces because they don't like what I have to say about America or voting instead of just using the block button. Block button should be your first line of defense instead of appealing to authority to get your way. This is less about people being assholes in anarchist spaces and more about the fact that we have a lot of posers on lemmy.
