Lemmy is more left leaning because the rights popularity seen on other social media are driven by bots that are not here.

Sorry, this is the case on both sides. I’m a leftist, and I see it happen from my side all the time. Deflecting and claiming only Republicans do it is ignorant or blatant gaslighting.

I’m called a nazi sometimes from people in my own party. It 100% happens.

Hell, “gaslighting” itself is a good example of this phenomenon, and it’s mostly on the left.

I’m all for saying both sides are bad, because they are, but I’m guessing you either did something to warrant being called a nazi or found a cringey liberal to argue with.

You know your political views are truly independent when both the left and right accuse you of siding with the enemy.

The hate for anyone who weighs ideas no matter which team they’re from is very transparent.

  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).

  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct
