You don't want ideology to be mixed with a social networking service. It can get problematic. Maybe it hasn't yet for you. But it might. So might as well switch now to something neutral.

Robin@lemmy.world 1 day agoSo far, the Lemmy devs being commies doesnt seem to affect the quality of the software. And since it’s the fediverse you can just go to a server that doesn’t clash with your own world view.

This is gonna blow your mind: Liberalism is also an ideology, a reactionary one at that.
Just because it’s the “default” doesn’t mean it’s not influencing anything.

It has in some ways, it's awfully convenient that features that would harm their ability to spread their ideology get neutered or not developed fully. Like making the modlog less useful, neutering the vote system (Lemmy used to have a more robust voting system, until they noticed that it could be used against them) or still not having a proper blocking system in place after 4 years
There's also the "soft" issues, instance admins not wanting to take the step of defederating with .ml when they do so with grad and hex because they depend on support from dessalines and they fear he would be petty and cut off support with them if they dared to do so (which prob would)
