  • Its a tough question because lemmy is for a cleary majority a variation of political left. ML is infamous for being tankies for example. One reason i observed for this is because corporate sites, you know which ones ars increasingly leaning if not full on political right.

    There are right leaning communities oc but i doubt there is much truly Neutral. You may also encounter a lot of defederation with those communities to protect targeted communities from fascism

    The far right takeover happening in the US is not helping because what even is the center position at this point? Feels like a full on information war.

    Having said that i fully agree that there should be neutral ground if not purely on the basis that the word is not America and there is plenty of political spectrum in the world besides (Anti)Facism.

    I have noticed that the big political communies all allow US posts because we are still reasonably small. As we grow we will see more diversity.

    Which brings me to the my last point, do not be afraid of empty communities. Be the user you want to see and subscribe to it, maybe post something. Someday someone may and as an early member you get the privilege of helping to shape it towards what you believe we need.


  • Does it also count if you don’t stalk your ex yourself but do stalk a community dedicated to stalking that exact same ex?

    I like to hear the shit that goes down there (and other sites) for multiple reasons.

    • so i can discuss these ongoing enshitification with friends i know still frequent it and are not on the fediverse.

    • to archive/understand/study the dynamics of enshitificication/collapse/fascist momentum so i may learn how to defend against those and if successful educate others.

    • to deliver dopamine to my brain by feeding the inbuild superiority complex within my human mind. Most of us enjoy seeing our choices redeemed. Shallow and primitive yes but so is arguable 90% of social media.
