I hope Lemmy won't become far right or far left platform

[–] Pluton 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It will probably lean towards far left, of course it will depend on instance, but popular instances could go far left yeah

I am not so familiar with the terms left and right, left means Republic or Democrats?? only hope Lemmy will be a neutral ground I can browse

spoilerI only allow one single party in my country, that why /s

This post might be a joke, but I feel compelled to answer either way.

The terms left and right heavily depend on the country, because those terms are relative. While in the USA democrats might be left of the republicans, the democrats would be considered mid-right in Germany, because there parties that are left relative to them. This might even be more extreme in countries like Norway or Iceland.

On the other hand there republicans could be thought of as mid-right in other countries, but I tend to avoid going there.

Yes, I think the implied sarcasm in "might" was not explicit enough. ;)

But non the less, thank you for your hint, and I mean that without sarcasm.

Also, the party names are basically meaningless. In the US, Democrats (party) and liberals (idea) are left wing. Nothing to do with Liberals, Democrats, or Liberal Democrats in any other countries, some of which are right-wing.
