I am also 100% in favor of general communities, and I fully support your goal and reasoning for it. However, I do have my suspicions as to if it will work or not. A lot of the lemmy instances out there, at least the ones I have seen currently, are exceptionally restrictive as far as their content is concerned. A lot of people won't look very deep, and will make decisions entirely based on very small bits of information. I think even now, if people bothered to look deeper, they'd see we're more than just a "right-winger" instance. I don't know if much if any political stuff has really been posted here at all. And as far as loli is concerned, they can't see any of the NSFW posts/communities unless they log in or look deeper. So bans on that are entirely based on assumptions and the bit of text that is in the sidebar.
It really does entirely depend on how open others are to take a look at what's actually on the instance, as opposed to just what they think is on the instance.
Sorry if this is a bit disjointed. It's very late/early here, so probably not the most cohesive post i've made sofar.
