I don't have much of a problem either way as I don't think I'll be engaging in political discussion on this website past this post but it seems like any sort of non-left wing opinions or posts are immediately trashed on here. That's fine. There's clearly a more liberal audience here and that's okay. I just don't want Lemmy to become a echo chamber for any side and it seems to be that way when it comes to politics already.

Mostly making this post just to drum up discussion as I'm new here.

Can confirm. Sh.itjust.works has gone to shit and several of the responses I've received - and the areas where they (the admins and moderators that is) have remained conspicuously unresponsive - indicate to me that they are, by and large, quite sympathetic to alt-right views, hence their very slow delay. I get the impression that they come at this from an Enlightened Centrist angle, so I don't think they consider themselves sympathetic. it's that kind of sympathy where they think it's fair to equally tolerate group A that just wants to exist and group B that openly calls for violence against group A. Both sides amirite?

I don't really want to get down to it too much more than that.
