Comment on Are most people here left-wing?

I simultaneously miss and don’t miss reading posts by Trump Supporters on Reddit.
It’s nice to read comments from the other side, even if those comments are batshit insane.

"Come to Lemmy, we have batshit insanity from more than just the two sides" 🤪
Although on Lemmy.world, you won't see two of the Big Three instances that spread the majority of authoritarian propaganda present on Lemmy, because lemmygrad.ml and Hexbear.net have been defederated.
The conservatives likewise were defederated from, and apparently fell apart internally, presumably moving over to Truth Social.
If you or anyone else truly wants to read every POV though, then you can check out Lemm.ee that aims to defederate from as few instances as possible.

Cheers!
I do get morbidly curious about politics and will probably check it out.

Even so I'll add a warning that Hexbear.net is a troll instance. They don't so much truly believe in anything so much as spoil for a fight, which is fine except consent does not matter to them and they refuse to restrain themselves outside of their instance that was created for that purpose. Also they have been caught actually lying to instance admins. Even so they can be fun to talk with, so long as you aren't taken by surprise e.g. mistaking it for people being serious:-).
