There is no “lemmy”, every instance is unique. Just don’t waste your time with the fascist instances
Do you have any recommendations on finding more centrist lemmy instances? Because there is an extreme left and right which seems clear amongst quite a few instances and I don't want to be a part of any of them.
Centrist views are shunned by the internet at large. Both sides hate us.
Because a large number of people on boards like Reddit or Twitter who call themselves centrists use “I’m not a republican” as some way to excuse bigoted views on race, LGBT issues, etc. I suppose the opposite may be true if you’re in a right-leaning place and have left-leaning views, although I wouldn’t know.
While that might not be the view of centrists in general, that’s the perception of the “centrist” on the internet, and why people generally don’t like them.
