    The Lemmy devs? I’m aware of this. I’m a right winger and that doesn’t affect me nearly as much as the far left communities of Lemmy users.

    The features are all I care about. Eventually I’ll find the right people here and be able to build the communities I want.

      They must have been talking about the Lemmy devs (the main PieFed dev is a lefty but no-one has ever accused him of being a tankie). To give you an idea: piefed.social blocks lemmygrad and hexbear, but it also block hilariouschaos (set up by the old exploding-heads guys).

        Ooh I didn’t know that the exploding-heads guy did anything else.

        Why block instances though? I’ve never been a fan of that, I just let people block me.

          I couldn’t really do justice to his opinions about things like that. I just replied because I recognised your name, and wanted to let you know that the software / instance wouldn’t be a good fit for you.

            Well, IDK. I’m right wing. Exploding Heads definitely at least leaned right, and found myself arguing with those people a lot of the time, but I do prefer right wing lunacy to left wing lunacy most of the time.

      I am surprised that you have survived this long. I am rather moderate left, and even after blocking the main extreme left instances, I still question my presence when I see the amount of far left populism that gets acclaimed here.

        Sounds like you’re plenty interested in hearing from conservatives. 🤔

          Anyone who tries to express themselves politely and rationally is welcomed.

            So marginalized groups have to be careful not to offend your sensibilities when arguing for their existence, got it. Honestly par for the course with centrists.

        A lot of it is disengaging from political communities and making my own. So far the people who leave comments now haven’t been that but, but we’ll see how long that lasts 😂
