    Just look at the removed comments from political communities in the modlog. Every non-liberal view is swiftly silenced. It’s even in the rules of many big instances, written in a ulterior fashion, so as to not rouse suspicion

    No, I’ve seen a diverse range of views, including several explicitly postliberal ones.

    Unless you’re using “liberal” as lazy shorthand for the US left-wing, in which case still no, because it’s not an echo chamber, but yes, views that are left-of-(American)-center are predominant.

    Yes I think so. The large majority prefers downvoting, and that’s why the largest instances have it enabled.

    You can still join an instance that has it disabled though. I personally strongly prefer no downvotes and that’s why I’m on Lemmy.today.
