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?

      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.

    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

    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!
