Hi! In thinking about how to help the fediverse grow, I wonder if there are more mainstream Lemmy instances?

I’ve pointed a couple folks to Lemmy.world and it’s uhhh, pretty hard Left for them (as one girl, who volunteered for the Democrats said “I just got yelled at because I can’t be Left wing unless I want to destroy capitalism? Which feels weird.”) We’re much farther Left than reddit which itself was definitely Left of centre…

I don’t know if decentralized open source social media actually attracts many mainstreamers but assuming we want to grow the fediverse, I’d like to have somewhere I can point people to without feeling very nervous for them.

Thanks!

    What an idiotic take. Millions of people lost their homes in 2008 and watched those responsible walk away with millions of dollars in golden parachutes thanks to Obama lining his cabinet with Goldman Sachs bros and holding no one responsible. The “tea party” that formed is trumps base today.

    Jesus Christ read a fucking book.

      Whatever you need to think to excuse fascists for being fascists, I guess.

        You’re way too fucking stupid for this. Complete lack of intellectual ability. Fascism doesn’t exist in a vacuum and as a typical liberal you take the lazy route and refuse to see how democrats played a massive part in allowing fascism to flourish by being failed leaders, just like the Weimar Republic.

        Open a goddamn history book for fucks sake. Your ignorance threatens my queer existence.

            If you gave a flying fuck about fighting fascism youd self reflect to figure out how we got here. You won’t. You’re lazy.

                  You’re free to take whatever tone you want. Tone aside, I see that all you ever really do is rant about “libs” and blame everyone for fascism except fascists.

                  This does not make sense.
