The only thing you need to know about how Lemmings think about politics is that they bash Mozilla more than Google.
Can you point me to an example of that happening here?
Perhaps I should rephrase. They attack Mozilla (and users of Firefox) infinitely more than Google (and users of various Google products). I heard it said after Mozilla introduced their opt-out privacy-respecting ad tracking that users should "move to a more privacy-friendly browser like Google Chrome".
This is true of Lemmy's political stance in general. Tell them you're a leftist but not vegan? They'll call you a murderer. Tell them you're a leftist but not an anarcho-communist? Yeah I'll bet you love capitalism and the human suffering it causes, you Chauvinist pig! Tell them you're a liberal? You're practically a Nazi collaborator! (All things I have actually heard Lemmings say.) But tell them you're a conservative and they leave you alone.
One of those entities claims to be on the side of users. When it constantly throws those same users under the bus anyway, it isn't surprising that it gets more hate than the entity that removed "don't be evil" from its motto.
It's not our fault that fascists bleed when liberals get scratched.
