When I joined Lemmy, I was afraid the politics of the creators would be an issue. It turns out, they are amazing at separating that and their development and stewards of Lemmy.

I’ve found exactly the opposite. I essentially dismissed concerns about Lemmygrad and political extremism, now I’ve come to see it as the biggest threat to the fediverse.

I use it less and would be embarrassed for others to find out I use it in case they saw Lemmygrad/Hexbear content.

There should be plenty of instances to choose from which are defederated from both. Would that be a solution for you or others?

  Plus instance blocking is coming soon, and some apps already have their own implementation of said feature.

  I’m hoping that instance defederation and blocking gets to that point, but as it is it doesn’t really work. I have Lemmygrad and Hexbear blocked and I still see them regularly.
  
  There’s also a lot of softer propaganda from lemmy.ml, although it doesn’t bother me much since I lean “left” anyway.

  Propaganda isn’t obvious or or wouldn’t work. It’s also generally based on the truth.

    I don’t understand what you’re asking.

That’s okay, I’m sure the lemmygrad and hexbear users are embarrassed to find out you use it too.
