What do they mean by "too extreme"? Too left?
Yes, to them Lemmy is extremely left.
Reddit and other places on the internet are so far right when you say things like ‘I don’t think poor people should starve to death’ you’re looked at as a leftist.
They get shocked when you tell them capitalism is a terrible idea and their precious freedom of speech can get fucked when it’s used to protect literal Nazis.
Just a heads up, your post might be taken as tankie rhetoric. It’s relatively common outside of .world.
Yes thank you, I’m well aware.
One of the things I like about Lemmy is that it is extreme left (I’m excluding tankies from this). What I’d hate to see is with an increasing influx of new users it gradually shifts the Overton window of acceptable opinions.
If Lemmy ever starts to espouse capitalism I’ll know it’s over.
