Is there a "normie" or more mainstream instance for Lemmy?
-
I'm finding it incredibly ironic. Mine is the only instance that is unashamedly for-profit and access is only for paying customers...
-
I'm not saying that if you don't want to destroy capitalism that you're not left. I'm saying that the perspective that reddit itself was "definitely left of center" is not a widely shared perspective, and if you believe that reddit of all places was left of center, then lemmy, which actually is left of center, is going to feel very left of center.

I guess... Well, I have trouble seeing the fediverse expand that far then. Which is fine but there have been a lot of pleas to make this a viable alternative to corpo social media.

Properly regulated capitalism is my Left but...

What an idiotic take. Millions of people lost their homes in 2008 and watched those responsible walk away with millions of dollars in golden parachutes thanks to Obama lining his cabinet with Goldman Sachs bros and holding no one responsible. The “tea party” that formed is trumps base today.
Jesus Christ read a fucking book.

I dobtwrhinj it's any serious political talk (otherwise most countries are having unserious talks about their Left and Right wings) but maybe in serious political theory talks?
Like, Germany's Left parties mostly don't want to dismantle capitalism but I wouldn't dismiss all conversation about them and putting people on that Left Right spectrum to be unserious.

You are going to get critized whatever your political stance, even if you a a centrist who wants to unite people for the common good. Just recently saw a post comic post mocking centrism. Having a civil discussion on heated topic like politics is almost impossible now. My take is to avoid criticism if it is not contructive, otherwise its just becomes a fight.

Add me to the list. Not helped by the fact that "-ik" is a common russian suffix.

Whatever you need to think to excuse fascists for being fascists, I guess.

Yeah, please don't give up. I need more people like you here.

I'd strongly disagree. I think reddit is generally on the left side of most cultural and political institutions.
To each their own though.

Like, Germany’s Left parties mostly don’t want to dismantle capitalism but I wouldn’t dismiss all conversation about them and putting people on that Left Right spectrum to be unserious.
Even the SDP is pro-forma still for the abolition of capitalism.

All I will point out is that the overton window in the US has shifted to the point where a double Sieg Heil at your president's inauguration is within normal discourse .

Not sure this is the way to share comments but in this post we already have people arguing about liberalism creating fascism etc:
Comments - Is there a "normie" or more mainstream instance for Lemmy? - Fedia
content aggregator and micro-blogging platform for the fediverse
(fedia.io)
I think she deleted accounts but if you really want I can hunt down the last time folks got angry at me for the same thing.

You’re way too fucking stupid for this. Complete lack of intellectual ability. Fascism doesn’t exist in a vacuum and as a typical liberal you take the lazy route and refuse to see how democrats played a massive part in allowing fascism to flourish by being failed leaders, just like the Weimar Republic.
Open a goddamn history book for fucks sake. Your ignorance threatens my queer existence.
-
Honestly, I got also the impression that Communick was about communism, not communication. I just felt I needed to state it anywhere.

I wanna say there's Hilarious Chaos which is right wing and a lil more normie. This instance is pretty good too.
-
The point is that you want somewhere with a large userbase so as to ensure there's content to enjoy.
Creating my own seems... not helpful.
-
Mate, you're not going to deconvert libs by pushing them towards the fascists. You don't have to be so antagonistic all the time.
-
As a queer person I’ve completely lost my patience with shit libs. They’re fascists.
Also if they’re that easily pushed to fascism they had it in them all along and were never an ally and don’t belong on lemmy.
