    From what I understand, before the reddit exodus Lemmy was very concentrated with leftists so we have that as the starting point. Those that left reddit generally were on the left as well as they tend to be the types that have more sensitivity to corporate bullshit so “unfortunately,” depending on your perspective, Lemmy will definitely be more concentrated with those on the left than elsewhere.

    I think the same thing will happen or already has with Blue sky, and whatever tictoks replacement will be. It’s pretty sad to see us pretty much self selecting into echo chambers, but it’s our sense of morality that drives us to do it, not really a specific desire to want to be in an echo chamber. I can’t stand Musk or Fuckerberg so I actively avoid their platforms, but right wingers tend to flock to places that either are openly hostile to those on the left or at least allow/incentivize hate against the left so we end up separating ourselves. I don’t come to Lemmy to be away from right wing content, I do it to avoid “helping” Musk, spez, Fuckerberg.

    I definitely value trying to understand opposing opinions as well which is why I never block anyone and thankfully haven’t had anyone deserving of it for harassment or whatever.

    Like most things. The extreme ends of “I’m gonna complain about him as much as I possibly can at all times”

    I would agree with this if it was one person. But this is the Internet so it’s a collection of everyone posting stuff. It really could be that one individual posts something about trump twice a month, but with everyone else posting at a similar rate it is “constant,” but not the same person. At that point we’d need to have a Trump meeting and decide who gets to post what and when so we don’t pile up too much Trump content lol
