    No real user complains about political leanings. Literally the only complaints i see in the most random places is “how liberal everyone is” which is objectively deranged. If anything this space is incredibly conservative and I’d like for you to prove me wrong

        Eh, there’s Horseshoe Theory at play there. While some people rail against the idea, I think they’re forgetting that political stances should mostly be modeled along 3 axes, not just the one. It’s just that the ‘average’ range of political stances tend to follow a horseshoe-shaped pattern within those 3 dimensions

      Lemmy.world ended up being the default instance for everyone hopping from reddit, so it’s quickly become more akin to reddit than other servers. Not to mention the tankies have migrated to lemmy.ml (developer run and explicitly marxist / tankie instance), lemmygrad.ml (marxist tankie 4chan instance), and hexbear (tankie communists that were isolated / defederated by choice for a while. They started federating and many instances blocked them for trolling. Full of trolls). I went to lemmy.ca but lemmy.world blocked me for being a bot, which I am not, so I had to make a new account because the admins never bothered to respond. Also lemmy.world admins have been going kinda crazy / heavy handed with the moderation and many people on other servers are rightfully upset with them
