I’ve not been here long, but I’m curious how users who were present before the reddit drama feel about any potential changes to the content and tone of discussions.

    Yes it’s full of liberals now this used to be a leftist safe zone. Soon they will be mods and any dissent will result in permant ban

    Edit: libs proved me right so fast check those salty replies bet they even Reported me. Healthy discussion involved some heat love y’all

      Eh… Instances are like countries and federations are like Alliances. A leftist safe zone still exist and they federate only with like minded instances.

        I prefer to think of this as the liberal safe zone and the rest of lemmy as leftist, as it has been for years before lemmy.world exploded from the massive influx of reddit refugees

          That’s actually what’s happening. As an og Lemmy user from chapotraphouse days it kind of bizarre seeing Lemmy world get libified

      ALSO would your solution be ONLY leftist mods, would they be any more or less likely to quash dissent and perma ban whatever they don’t like?

        My experience is that most extremely ideologically driven communities tend to devolve into the same heavy-handed moderation tactics. I think this happens because it’s easier to imagine that the ends justify the means, and because small minority communities that are far from the larger consensus viewpoints are going to have issues with relatively large number of outside users coming in and wanting to debate or denigrate the fringe ideology.
