Look at here and the people who complain about it being too hard to figure out are the ones complaining about "I can't use muh slurs, this is awful."

"The left of today is very much in favour of censorship to avoid “harm.” This makes those of us in the middle very wary of signing up to any partisan media." /u/decidedlysticky23

/u/misshapensteed claims he isn't far right, but explictly only posts on PoliticalCompassMemes and TheLeftCantMeme and KotakuInAction.

If they are too stupid to figure out we know they're lying, they're too stupid to figure out lemmy.

What does political even mean here? I guess the usual "Don't be racist, don't be homophobic, don't be transphobic etc." I really don't see much real political topics in my frontpage (local and all).

Historically, Lemmy has been very political (Marxist, pro-Russia/war, etc). But as of a few days ago the userbase is now mostly reddit users, so it feels quite different now. This is especially true if your instance admins choose who to federate with.

I didn't commit to Lemmy in the past for this reason. Lots of tankies and cranks. Figured the space wasn't for me. But there are now other instances that are popular and other posts being made by people who don't share the views of the original userbase, which I think is great. Those guys can still hang out in their own space and I can hang out in mine.
