Any Discordians on Lemmy?

I haven't been able to find any communities dedicated to our Lord and Saviour Eris, and I am perplexed by this fnord. Where are you hiding, my fellow popes?

- Hail Eris! All hail Discordia!
What is a discordian?
- Workshippers of the sacred chaos and reciters of mu.
Heathen! May the one true Bob enlighten you with his slack!
Haul Eris!!
- All hail Discordia!
  
  5 tonnes of Flax for all!
We had one, but there was a schism over the location of the Brunswick Shrine. That kicked off a round of mutual excommunications. By the time it was over, the mod had accidentally excommunicated (blocked) themself and everyone else had blocked each other.

So start one! Or five! May a thousand communities bicker for the greater glory of Eris Discordia. Kallisti!
Maybe Lemmy needs more slack.
I remember facebook had a really nice Discordian group, but people there were mostly older and I don't think they would consider moving to an alternative platform or if they are moslty even aware of fediverse, but by my papal decree I shall announce a new instance devoted to our Lady
- Sounds great, yeah. I am not good enough at computer stuff to start an instance, but I would be really happy to join one. So keep me illuminated, please.
  
  I have sent my telekinetic powers across the noösphere, now we wait until a brave soul actually starts doing it because I have no idea how to create and maintain instances either but maybe I'll look into it
What is a discordian？
- It's a fictional and real religion from a book called the illuminatus trilogy.
  
  It predates Illuminatus!, which came out in the early 70s. The foundational text of Discordianism, the Principia Discordia, was published (i.e. photocopied and sent out to fellow fringe dwellers) around the mid-60s. Illuminatus!, however, popularised it.
- It's like descartian but with a twist
Wait guys there is already a community and I even was a member already: c/discordianism (sorry don't know how to find a community link on voyager mobile, just use search)
Bob says, "Your lack of slack is disturbing."
I'm not a Discordian but I do believe in the Republic of Dave!

Do I get a seat? :D
There's a controversial person on a server called discordia named Eris
Fnord is the invisible discordia of Lemmy. You have one now and at same time you don’t have it at all.
Fellow former popes, you mean, by reading this message you hereby excommunicate yourself.
