I’m here from Reddit. They banned me for absolutely no reason. That’s frustrating. How works Lemmy ?

    Lemmy is politically extremely left leaning, so prepare to get downvoted for just having center opinions, let alone conservative ones. But unlike Reddit, downvotes (and upvotes for that matter) don’t mean shit.

      Lemmy is politically extremely left leaning

      I feel like the average Lemmy user is a progressive first and foremost. And then we do have certain instances that harbor far-left people and they can get really loud.

      But you know what’s interesting? One of the reasons I left Facebook, a solid few years ago, was I was getting the worst kind of far-left propaganda in my timeline. It was only here and there, but one pro-USSR meme is one too many. I always remember that anytime I’m wrestling a tankie on here.
