  • The “pro-capitalist” thing isn’t bad IMHO

    With Reddit users moving to Lemmy, attitudes on Lemmy become closer to reddit mean: Leaning mid-left due to the majority of users being young western people with many IT workers among them

    I remember from the time when Mastodon was very young that many Mastodon instances were explitly far-left,anti-capitalist, queer, or all of this. This caused most other instances to be full.of users who don’t want that so even apolitical instances turned into far-right asshole circlejerks

    Then both sides started to federate only among each other

    Its not like Trumpists,Incelas and such are the majority. I’d rather deal with some shitty communities on a large instance rather than have to think about who to federate with again with half the instances blacklisted. Its not like we can prevent them from using Lemmy anyway. At least some of them might be positively influenced by exposure to other viewpoints
