Is there a "normie" or more mainstream instance for Lemmy?

[rglullis@communick.news]

I really don't get this "if you don't block XYZ, it means you are in favor of them".

My instance does not block any of the big tankies, and yet it has not been a problem.

[pugjesus@lemmy.world]

I just got yelled at because I can’t be Left wing unless I want to destroy capitalism? Which feels weird.

That's a terminology issue that you're going to run into in any sufficiently political community. 'Left-wing' in casual use in the US refers to "everyone except the Republicans and some moderates", but "left-wing" in any serious political talk refers to anti-capitalism.

[rglullis@communick.news]

You are the first that makes this association, at least that I know of.

Communick is rooted on "Communication", "nickname" and "unique": because the original idea was that people that sign up to the service get an unique username across all instances...

[m_f@discuss.online]

I'm not saying that leaving an instance unblocked means you're in favor of them, to be clear. My response was only addressing the issue of achieving a "normie" experience.

[jeffw@lemmy.world]

You’re going to get yelled at by lefties on any instance. That’s how federation works.

[rentlar@lemmy.ca]

Roughly speaking, Lemm.ee is more libertarian some libright. Slrpnk is libleft but is home to pleasant politics community. Dbzer0 is anarchy leftist. World is closest to US centrist. Lemmy.ca is kind of Reddit's onguardforthee vibe, Left/NDP wing.

Thing is that influences from other more ideological instances will make it onto All threads. "Lib-shaming" is something some folks at lemmy.ml, hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml like to do frequently, which is where those experiences might have come from.

I mean, if you don't want to dismantle capitalism, I'm not sure I want you around, anyway.

And you shouldn't feel "nervous". If someone is unable to defend themselves against ideals they don't subscribe to, they should work on their defense instead of running to an echo chamber. Debate us s crucial part of human nature.

[miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Agreed. I got lost at 'Reddit is left...'
Huh?

[inv3r5ion@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Lemmy world left???? Lol they’re milquetoast liberals and capitalism is garbage. Your friend needs to grow up.

[hendrik@palaver.p3x.de]

Uuh, I don't have any good instances to recommend. But my advice is to skip the politics and news communities. I mean it's difficult these days anyways. But also here on Lemmy, they're not very good.

[banana@sh.itjust.works]

I've found that for those moving from reddit, sh.itjust.works seems to be pretty accessible

[lauchs@lemmy.world]

Actually that was my instinctual thought as well. Though, I might be primed as a result of some of the responses.

[inv3r5ion@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Lib shaming is for good reason as the US and most of the western world falls to fascism thanks to libs creating the material conditions for it.

[lauchs@lemmy.world]

Much appreciated!

Yeah, I think .world is the biggest and so I'd love that to be the "base" but even responses here go to "if you ain't against capitalism, I don't want you here."

[lauchs@lemmy.world]

Thanks, I'll take a look!

[jackbydev@programming.dev]

You'd have to show who specifically was yelling. You see everyone from all instances they're federated with. They might not have even been from Lemmy.world.

[shadowram@fedia.io]

are they really anti-capitalism?

or just calling for properly regulated capitalism?

[lauchs@lemmy.world]

Not everyone wants to spend social media arguing with people. We have things to do. It's not a particularly pleasant environment sometimes abd believe it or not, that bothers people.
