This was long overdue, and I should have made it per day when the supreme court did these cases. But oh well, it’s all under one megathread. This will be active for a couple of days.

    I’m obviously interested in politics stuff but I’m honestly currently here wondering about lemmy’s politics. Does anyone know which way if any this place leans? Reddit politics obviously claimed to be neutral but by the end id say it was one of the most left biased websites on the net. Anyone know about this place?

      reddit kept the_donald around for years after they promoted and helped organize a literal nazi rally. reddit coddles the worst of what conservatism has to offer, and always has.

      If that’s too far left for your tastes, you will not like a community where you can’t work the refs by whining.

      Lemmy is more left-wing than Reddit and FAR more unwelcoming to differing views. If you’re even slightly to the right of Bernie Sanders, be prepared to be called a “fascist” and ridiculed by bad faith users. Consider yourself warned.

        Are you just slightly to the right of Bernie Sanders, or do you suspect that there is some other reason that people keep calling you a fascist?

        Because if people kept calling me a fascist, I might take the hint and do some introspection.

            Fine. Since you evidently get called a fascist all the time on lemmy, you should be able to provide an example of it happening.

      Just started scrolling around here a few days ago myself. Based purely on the posts I’ve clicked from “top”, so far it seems to be about as left as reddit, but in an even more angry way: Even quicker to use dehumanizing rhetoric, to jump on the “anyone who doesn’t agree with me must actually be acting in bad faith” trend that has been gaining ground on reddit, and so on. And even one highly upvoted comment that said that every mention of free speech is a fascist dog whistle, which in context I think was supposed to be in support of some lefty thing, though that would enrage most lefties I know in the real world.

      See how it plays out though, haven’t been here long.
