Hi everyone. Another refugee from reddit here. What's the drama with the Lemmy teams politics? I've seen a few people warn that they're not great, but the only example that I actually saw was an argumentative back-and-forth in a github issue about filter lists for slurs.

It didn't seem particularly damning to me.

I appreciate the information. I'm not pearl clutching, just curious.

It is interesting to see people flock here to celebrate values that they don't politically espouse. I am not a marxist myself, but I don't think we would have anything close to this product without such an ideology, and it's just as ironic to see a few alt-right instances floating around. The human experience is complicated, to say the least.
