That's just wrong. Totally ahistorical.

There's a good chunk of the rest of the fediverse that's more right leaning, for the most part they've actively avoided Lemmy because Lemmy was actively hostile to any kind of wrongthink. It was one of the things that really limited it's growth because you could only be on Lemmy if you believed exactly what you were told to believe. The software itself had a hard coded slur filter, and while I generally don't use them, such a filter being non-negotiable told people who might even just be more liberal they weren't welcome.

I stayed on the threadiverse through lotide despite it all, and despite having some pretty limited takes, I quickly found myself banned or defederated from many instances. To this day I don't participate on those instances because I'm not welcome. Wolfballs and exploding-heads came to exist, but were similarly rejected and even now the very first thing to be done by many instances is defederating from those instances.

I've heard through the grapevine that some of the people who run fediverse instances are considering starting Lemmy instances now that the platform is growing.

Right wing bots. That's a good one.

Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia

As long as these rules are in place and enforced arbitrarily by power tripping mods you'll only see the woke bubble. Alternate ideas are not allowed. Try talking about any of the taboo subjects and see how quickly the ban hammer falls.

kbin.social is just as bad as reddit ever was. I said that I personally don't want a transgender transition surgery and they banned me. These are not places where real discussion can happen.
