Is Lemmy community nice to new users?
New to Lemmy and I quit reddit years ago and I remembered that r/conservatives was hostile to me for voicing my politics certain other subreddit made fun of me if I was wrong. I'm newish to the fediverse. I'm digging mastodon even though I never did Twitter
You're viewing a single thread.
.world and .ml like to beef over their politics (generally liberal vs more leftist/Marxist)
Aside from that, people are generally pretty kind and won’t bash you for having left-of-center politics. If you’re a conservative, though, I’d expect downvotes. There just aren’t very many around on Lemmy. (And I personally think things are better that way.)
.world and .ml like to beef over their politics (generally liberal vs more leftist/Marxist)
most of the "beef" actually happens in their own little threads with no cross interaction cause .world has hexbear and lemmygrad blocked
Ehhh there's not no interaction though, as .ml has them all federated and quite a lot of posts are thereI was misremembering, see below
Even when the conversation happens on a “bridge” instance, the users of the instances defederated from each other don’t see each other’s comments. They have an abridged view of the conversation.
Ahh my mistake, you're right
Is that Why I see so many gaps?? How do you check which are and aren't federated. I want to see as many as possible, even if they're dipshit ones
Bruh blahaj defederated all the porn? Lol
both .world and lemm.ee are conservative enough for each one to have their own thriving conservative sub communities; i doubt op would get down votes from them.
Man, that must be tough for them. Lemmings run between solidly Democrat and contemplating critical support for Pol-Pot.
democrats are politically center-right for in the entire western world, so it's not at all a stretch to be conservative, religious, and democrat all at the same time.
the way i've politically sparred with them on lemmy proves to me that this is what most of the people of .world and .ee are like; status-quo americans.
so it’s not at all a stretch to be conservative, religious, and democrat all at the same time.
Yes. That's a lot of older African-Americans, from what I've heard. Church every Sunday, but they'd chew off their own leg before they vote Trump.
My impression is that the average .world user is a progressive. Some stray towards centrism, some are communist. The Pol-Pot post I saw was on Hexbear.
IRL, well, you know.
as i said earlier, .world is center-right; i don't get any sense of progressiveness from them.
they might be progressive compared to republicans, but not compared to your average western european or latin american or canadian; aka the western world.
