The lemmy-network is (for now) full of tankies. Just look at this: https://lemmy.ml/home/data_type/Post/listing_type/All/sort/TopMonth/page/1 https://lemmy.ml/h

  I mean there’s a lot of that on Reddit too. Check out r/sino

  Well you can start your own instance.

    But if the federation is largely people you won't want to interact with (or who refuse to interact with you), that just puts you on a version of Reddit with no other users.

  And Pleroma is full of whatever the polar opposite of a tankie is (not going to use the "f" word but you know who I mean). It's not too surprising that the political allegiances of the core developers affect who is and isn't interested in joining the network.

  You're egging and reducing a website because it has leftists on it while the paragons of personal responsibility, efficient markets, and the banking system are having a meltdown and getting a bailout. Remind me again what government handouts and interventions are? I don't understand the point of a comment like "there are leftists that use this website".

    I'll take occasional bank failures over communism any day. The death toll of the SVB meltdown is zero. Government handouts and interventions are social democracy, the system we all live in.

      We don't have social democracy for regular people, only the rich and corporations

  Reposting my comment from 2 years ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28453627 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28453627): FediTips, a Mastodon account, recently shared some concerns about the Uyghur-related content in the largest Lemmy instance, which is run by Lemmy's developers: https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106835057054633379 https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106835057054633379 This created a firestorm on Lemmy, on which it was noted that Lemmy removes conservative and libertarian communities with the reason "No conservative communities": > Removed Community conservatives reason: No conservative communities > Removed Community Libertarian, in the pursuit of a free society reason: No conservative communities allowed https://lemmy.ml/post/78808 https://lemmy.ml/post/78808 https://lemmy.ml/modlog https://lemmy.ml/modlog Perhaps the underlying software is fine, but the largest Lemmy instance is not exactly the friendliest to anyone who wants to express themselves more freely than they are allowed to on mainstream social networks.
