There are a couple of governance systems in the world. Parliamentary democracy, direct democracy, anarcho syndicalism, etc.

With its decentralized nature, mostly free movement between communities and instances, which governance system would be closest?

The situation of international anarchy in which individual states exist. Except there's nobody dying in wars on Lemmy. And not even anyone dying indirectly yet, as far as I can tell, although any time you let people talk to each other there's a continual risk of it happening.

The kid who blew up a fertility clinic (and himself) in Palm Springs was a moderator of !antinatalism@lemmy.world, for what that's worth. Not a war, and the only fatality ended up being himself, but definitely an act of violence with an intent to kill that was connected to a specific community on this platform.

Yep, giving it a quick look, that definitely does look like the account of a deeply miserable person.
