    I found it both weird (sometimes in a bad way) and fascinating.

    From all life taught me, more online freedom normally gives rise to far-right extremism, and this place is surprisingly…left?

    But yes, it might be skewed. As a left (and not Democrat kind of left, more like communist kind of left) I can’t not enjoy it, but I understand some people can be left out and that’s not nice to them.

    The general ethos really is left-wing here.

      It’s all up to who runs the server and decentralizing should be used to combat that nonsense.

        Sure

        Lemmy as a project is free from ideology, but the spirit of main instances is like this. That’s what I’m saying.

          Here’s how I see this. There’s people out there making posts and comments I want to see but can’t because someone owns the streets and decided those people must be silence. What’s even the point of switching away from the corporate abuse nonsense? It’s the same here except just not as good. The only way this makes sense is if people manage their own filters and admins can’t.
