Do you think the mostly limited range of political views is a strength or a weakness of Lemmy? (For example, in terms of attracting new users.) (feddit.nl)

Sure, there are always outliers and you can correct me if I'm wrong, but that's just the overall impression I have.

(I wasn't sure if [email protected] or this community would fit better for this kind of question, but I assume it fits here.)

It’s creating an environment where people who can’t handle the cultural shifts (e.g. not everyone is neurotypical) are having to heavily curate their experiences.

Non Americans already had to curate their experience for weeks before and during the US presidential election

Not everyone wants that, but excellent point about the fact that some do:-).

And there, as now, it would be nice to constrain things.

Though you mentioned the rather powerful counterargument earlier that this was a MAJOR event, and it's understandable that it's leaking.
