I just found out Lemmy is blocking and removing users for having varied political opinions that don't line up with their forceful left ideals. So I'm out. This was a waste of time.
Switch instances?
Would it be much better do you think? I've heard others are worse, but I am not sure of them all. I can look into it. I just want people to be able to have open, civil conversations without being silenced by biased mods.
If you have an issue with a given community, find or start an alternative one on another instance. If you have an issue with how your instance deals with anyone, sign up for a different instance.
I urge you to consider this before giving up on Lemmy entirely, it's kind of the beauty of the federated services.
Agreed, there are lots of instances, and that may be one thing that allows Lemmy to actually have space for different political leanings. As I understand, conservative circles are not very large here, but that can change, and smaller communities generally are healthier. Check those out and recruit your pals- be the change you want to see in the world!
