Unfortunately the chuds have started pouring in, because we all know those people cant just let people enjoy themselves if it means they're not getting attention.

I'm not surprised that people who reject a platform with centralized authority for shifting to "deliver value to shareholders" mode would be more leftist.

See, my worry was Mastadon's Fascist rep. Lemmy's left twist is no sweat of my back.

I don't mind. Fewer conservatives means higher quality and higher general IQ.

ITT: left = progressive and right = conservative

Post 2016, the worldnews/geopolitics subs that I follow on reddit have become nonstop sinophobic and anti-China hate subs. Prior to 2016, there were a lot of complaining about Chinese tourists and kids that shit on the streets, but after Trump got elected the cold war rhetoric went into full effect.

This got worse during and after Covid19, especially in America, Canada, and parts of Europe.

The cold war propagandizing is just so incredibly prevalent on reddit. It's like people forgot what the cultural/business relationship between the US and China looked like prior to 2016.

Mastodon managed to fight off bigots and nazis very successfully, maybe they do have enough brain cells to remember something I guess.

I am not that leftist.
