MODERATORS
The size of my block list tells me there are plenty of right-wing voices on the platform. No everyone on that list is right-wing, but I'm fairly certain a majority of them are.
Booooooooo
I have been saying a number of times over the course of my time here, that I think the "echo chamber"-ness of Lemmy is by design.
Each instance is moderated by a different team of people who run their server under a different philosophy. You can see clearly in this thread many from the lemmy.ml instance express mild disdain for "liberals", whereas other instances like lemmy.world and lemm.ee don't hold such animosity to that collective extent, but admins hold other expectations for what should be the norm. The way I view the Fediverse is that it's a collection of echo chambers, which within them help foster discussion between like-minded individuals. However these are networked with each other so you can wander outside that bubble to other instances when you feel like it. You also have control to block groups and instances you don't vibe with.
I know some instance moderation policies remove posts and comments that go far against the grain, but in other instances, unpopular takes just get super downvoted but left for people to see.
It is very rigid in its ideologies, even more so than reddit.
I don't consider myself leftist or rightist. I flip both ways on different issues and the middle on other things.
How ever Lemmy is becoming less tolerant of jokes and any view that doesn't line up with a moderator's view on the world.
It took a long time for me to get a ban but it's happened a couple times now.
Admittedly they're from .ml
Though some more left leaning communities have gone full on dog like as though it's Reddit
Moderators shouldn't be allowed to post to their own groups. How do you question a post by a mod without getting deleted/banned?

go back to Reddit nerd
like bluesky is rightist , lemmy may be leftist . it also depends on the server , left has blocked right and vice versa . try to find a right one

lol posting this on the most notoriously censored instance, on a platform intentionally removed from the fediverse for this very reason.
Echo chambers are the flavour of lemmy. Think wrong is quickly censored.
