Lemmy is cool and all but the amount of communist obsession here is a bit much.

Same, there’s this political circlejerk everywhere I go here, I may agree with a lot of people here, but different POVs on politics would be refreshing…

TIL a different political opinion equates to killing all gays. Who would have known?

You’re exactly the type of toxic idiot that drives people away from this place.

every lost liberal today is 10 alienated redditors joining lemmy due to there being less liberals here because they left

anti-communist/‘diverse’ opinions like open racism are welcomed on reddit

Different POV like what exactly? I’m genuinely asking. What political POV do u feel is missing or underrepresented on lemmy? 🤔

Wait lemmy is full of tankies? Fuck… When I left reddit and twitter, i thought i would never have to see the terminally online left again.

Oh, and before the leftists come at me, I hate conservatives more, and yall need to admit that joe biden is doing a great job and exactly what you asked.

It was founded by a Communist, and decentralization appeals to leftists. The non-Communist lemmy is Reddit, basically, or making your own instance or finding an anti-Communist instance.

This is why Lemmy will never be anything more than tiny a niche platform. It’s a place for the far left by the far left. There’s nothing here in place for anybody else. I don’t just mean politics wise, I mean everything. There’s nothing for fandoms, shows, movies, sports, or anything really. You have to be privacy/tech nerd or some left wing extremist to really enjoy this place more than Reddit. Since the portion of the population that this platform is trying to appeal to is extremely small, this platform will always be small. There’s little to not attempts by the devs or the community to make this place appeal to everybody else.

What, exactly, could be done to make it appeal to non-leftists, structurally? Addition of advertisers? Lol.

The simple answer is that Communism does not in fact rely on everyone being perfect and unselfish. The complicated answer is telling you to go read Communist theory.

Why do you hold the belief that Communisn requires everyone be perfect and unselfish to function any more than Capitalism does? Can you describe the principle or structure that leads you to believe this?

It depends on which instances you visit, the one I’m in is pretty chill, but slow. Though it does have a Chilean theme going on, so it might be harder for you to find something interesting.

It’d be cool to see hosted lemmy instances where people can pay for their own without having to go through the setup process, then curate their own feeds. Unless that already exists somewhere.

I wouldn’t say it’s super easy, but self hosting on a VPS is definitely possible
