Just got here and started a regional community for the American Midwest. Come on down!

There is an entire instance for the Midwest. Have a look to check if they already have an active community

+ also @caveman_[email protected]

Beware of that one, it's got... "issues", and is not a great recommendation for someone trying to get away from the exact same type of stuff happening on Reddit.

Example 1

Example 2

Ah thanks for the heads up. As I mentioned I'm new to lemmy & still figuring stuff out. Definitely worried about the censorship that the right wing loves so much.

In that particular case I believe it's left wing - echo chambers can function on both sides.

Well not in that case, because it's pressure from the right wing that is enforcing the undue censorship on reddit.

I meant the case for Midwest.Social was left wing.

I thought for Reddit people were also saying that it was left wing, due to calls for Luigi-type violence, but what are you saying about it being due to right wing? To clarify, I genuinely am asking, bc I left Reddit nearly two years ago and except to look something up quickly in specific subs, have not read e.g. r/popular since then, so I don't have any sense of what that culture has been like.
