Why are liberals on a decentralized platform anyway? Surely the free market has provided adequate platforms for everyone's needs

The Liberals on instances like Lemmy.world are too ideological to stay on Reddit, but have read no Marxist Theory and have not correctly identified the reasons why Reddit went wrong, and was always destined to go wrong. If they were Leftists, they would join an instance that doesn't defederate with Leftists as policy.

That's why Lemmy.world is just Reddit 2.

They left reddit to teach them a lesson for changing the recipe of their favorite capitalist treat, but have given no thought or import to the decentralized nature of the platform they left it for.

While I basically agree with this, I would argue there may be some liberals who just haven't been exposed to actual communism/been too heavily propagandized and seeing the discourse on very left instances could gain some supporters. I guess this specific post comment section is maybe a bad example, but I would venture a guess most leftists were liberals once

This is the case for the great majority of us socialists on Lemmy, yes.

Reddit took away their precious apps, that's the only reason. They have no problems at all with its western-supremacist political aims.

I’ve noticed “leftists” on Lemmy are reeeeaaallly confused about US politics.
