Yeah lemmy is mostly a left echo chamber, which is generally a net positive. But someone like my cousin who still gets their news from Facebook but might want to protest now they are thinking about their views would benefit from this journalism
Eh, it's a center-left chamber at best. As evidenced by the extreme reaction to the far-left echo chambers.
Disagree, it's pretty far left. Reddit was center-left, this is where those too far left for Reddit came as it shifted a little to the right with the top-down reaction to the API change.
You refer to .ml, but that's not really left, it's a tankie instance, which is closer to fascism than socialism. I see far more people on Lemmy idolizing communism/socialism than any other extreme ideology.
Aren't the devs of Lemmy Marxist leninist or something and .ml is one of their instances?
That's what they claim, but their moderation practices feel a lot more on the tankie spectrum than marxist leninist.
