Do you think the mostly limited range of political views is a strength or a weakness of Lemmy? (For example, in terms of attracting new users.) (feddit.nl)

Sure, there are always outliers and you can correct me if I'm wrong, but that's just the overall impression I have.

(I wasn't sure if !asklemmy@lemmy.world or this community would fit better for this kind of question, but I assume it fits here.)

Removed Comment I am gratified by the rate of downvotes on this. Greta Thunberg would, I think, be disappointed and angry that anyone would take what she said as a justification for ways to help get Trump elected. Let me highlight the very clearly written part that you seem to have missed: > It is probably Impossible to overestimate the consequences this specific election will have for the world and for the future of humanity. > > There is no doubt that one of the candidates — Trump — is way more dangerous than the other. If you want real positive change, listen to Greta and fight for change outside the system. If you want third parties, support RCV and proportional representation, to make them viable. If you want the end of the fucking world, then don’t vote, or vote for spoiler candidates within the current system that makes them unelectable. Edit: Formatting by PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat

reason: Electoralism, liberalism

well you did kinda invade their safe space with common sense ideas, shit lord hehe

"We're anarchists."

"Cool. Here's an urgent problem I see for the world that I think we should work on."

"SHIT COCK GET OUT DISALLOWED We don't say that here. You're receiving a gentle ban, to think about what you've done. Be better."

Oh my god... This is spot on. I feel like everyone here is mostly larping.

That's the current modding situation across any community focused on working class politics... as if people running them are not interested in helping the peasants.

Why would anyone act like that on social media... for free at that
