Hi! In thinking about how to help the fediverse grow, I wonder if there are more mainstream Lemmy instances?
I’ve pointed a couple folks to Lemmy.world and it’s uhhh, pretty hard Left for them (as one girl, who volunteered for the Democrats said “I just got yelled at because I can’t be Left wing unless I want to destroy capitalism? Which feels weird.”) We’re much farther Left than reddit which itself was definitely Left of centre…
I don’t know if decentralized open source social media actually attracts many mainstreamers but assuming we want to grow the fediverse, I’d like to have somewhere I can point people to without feeling very nervous for them.
Thanks!
Honestly liberals probably fit into lemmy fine. I’ve seen my fair share.
But your view of “normie” is heavily american centric. Your normies are probably far right in much of the world.
Unless “much of the world” is just the West please remember many nations are still under authoritarian rule.
Authoritarian is up on the poltical compass, not right, although its often left since it often requires a powerful state.
