I wouldn't go as far call lemmy Alt-Left Nazi if you block these commie instances but even then I feel like I am not left enough for much of the content at parts when phrases like class traitors/warfare, violent fantasies about murdering rich people and things alike as well as celebrating murder. I support unionization and peaceful protest but when I share my views which I consider left leaning but moderate I feel like an outsider. Its always just. I guess in a way maybe you're right. I want people to vote in their own best interest and it seems like thats an issue with democracy but I think having more variety of opinions and at parts more popular less political content would be beneficial.

But - and this is crucial - someone isn't going to be able to block things unless they first have an account. It's like saying that a particular general location (like a city or a nation) has no crime... if only you avoid the "bad" parts (but where are those even, and how are you supposed to know especially before you get into them - also, are there even any parts that aren't bad? it's a valid question, to someone who does not yet know?)

So you are correct in the sense that Lemmy != "Alt-Left Nazi". What I said though is that we are an Alt-Left Nazi "bar". We are not totally that thing - some of us are simply here, hanging out, having a drink, doing our own thing(s). But there are Nazis here (or rather in our case, the Alt-Left instead of the Alt-Right).

And that political content is everywhere. Well, not literally, but like if you browse by All or enjoy any kind of "news" or especially "memes", then it's really super difficult to block out. Someone used to Reddit simply won't bother learning how to navigate around the Alt-Left spaces. We who use ~~Arch~~ Linux btw are different - perhaps less sane?:-P
