If you could put together some kind of aggregator that gets around the defederation problem that would be amazing. Lemmy is owned and run by tankies who are ext

  What do you mean by 'run by', in this context? I thought it was the case that instance admins can run their Lemmy instances as they see fit.

  Which instance are you talking about? Lemmygrad, for example, matches that description, but lemmy.ml does not. The software project doesn't (afaik) have any bearing on ideology or defederation.

  Using the phrase “world view” has become a direct indicator of bigotry, misogyny, fascism, and other mindsets that are a real threat to basic human rights. I suggest finding a new euphemism.

    I’m sorry, but no, it hasn’t. The concept of a world view has always been core to the zeitgeist, and one of the primary ways people differentiate their general view on things as shaped by the circumstances of their upbringing, experiences and daily life. I hold the world view of a liberal, atheistic, environmentalist and consequentialist informed by a religious conservative upbringing that I managed to escape and decades in tech. The concept of having a world view is not offensive, and to claim that it’s a direct indicator of the negative connotations you list is rather odd. We all have a world view whether we call it that or not, and the subsets of bad behavior you describe do not hold a monopoly on the concept.

    Ahh, language manipulation. The hallmark of those who offer nothing of value. Kindly look up Weltanschauung.
