  I don’t think partisan is even the right word here as many Lemmy users are too far left for mainstream political parties. In fact I am further left than most any mainstream party, but am still considered a capitalist shill by people here.

        I would think and hope so.

    Leftists were banned on Reddit long ago and federation and internet archtiecture and infrastructure is made by generally leftists and libertarian types. So yeah, lots of leftists and libertarian types are around these niche and relatively new (I started using the fediverse nearly 10 years ago lol). Surprise pikachu face when normal people stop using reddit and see leftists since they were shielded from them by corporations, but it shouldn’t be that surprising honestly

    How far is “too far left” ?

• SorteKanin@feddit.dk ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  The political leaning is definitely unfortunate. The fediverse should be for everyone, not just a certain political section.

  So you, a normal person, join and instantly when a meme or comment allude to being altruistic, you leave? It’s so unfathomable to me how this is probably true. So many people need the world to be egomaniac or they get uncomfortable. Maybe they’re the problem though

    Lol, the lack of self-awareness in your comment is astounding. You immediately jumped to interpreting them in the least charitable way possible, instead of just asking them to clarify like a normal person. You are exactly the type of leftist that pushes a lot of people away from using Lemmy.

    Who needs conservative saboteurs when you have leftists to do their work for them?

      Nah, I was talking about their ficticious person in their example scenario.

      Since they are obviously here I thought that was obvious.

      But I can see you are very self aware yourself and not at all bothered by why altruism scares you

    To be entirely honest if anybody like that comes here and bounces off that’s great.

    source

    • KeenFlame@feddit.nu ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      But that’s not great. It’s great if you’re not interested in a social networking forum and want a meme feed sure but I don’t. I want people, I want the damaged ego people and I want to ask and talk to them about how they ended up like that

      source

      • rumba@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        I get you.

        But honestly come I’m kind of liking the vibe here and it’s not just a meme feed. More often than not you can have a real conversation with somebody you disagree with, you concied, they concied, learn a little bit about each other, follow a couple people maybe block a few assholes.

        The first few redis exoduses filled the place with the people with the lowest tolerance for bullshit. Every time Reddit has a new Exodus, We get topped off with the next level of people that just want to watch everyone be pissed off.

  Um… okay, if the fairly mainstream for our demographic politics here repels certain people, good.

  source

  • JasSmith@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Especially because most users respond to this with “good.”

    good.

    Your comedic timing is impeccable.

      Sure. You complained about that opinion, but it doesn’t mean I can’t hold that opinion. I don’t agree with your observations or conclusions. We don’t need more dimwit asshole conservatives here, if that’s what you mean by ‘wider audience’. That group already whines that Reddit is too leftist for them. I don’t really agree that Lemmy is more extreme in that regard, other than specific instances like .ml or grad. The politics I see here are not more extreme and I don’t find the user base ‘repellant’ at all, and I hold fairly typical US left views (would like more socialism, believe in human rights, universal healthcare, oppose racism, etc).
