As someone with similar views, I recently realised that I have the exact same tribalism and aggression, it’s just targeted at people who have that mentality.

Exactly. Blame/credit (blame in this case) doesn’t travel that way.
Take the following example: Alice and Bob both support view X. Bob also supports view Y. Y is evil. Then, Bob can be deemed responsible for supporting view Y. But X does not become evil because Bob is. And so Alice is completely fine.
Hell, “gaslighting” itself is a good example of this phenomenon, and it’s mostly on the left.
Nah, it’s probably because most of us left Reddit at some point, either due to banning left-wing subs or due to corporate dickery.
The right-wingers went their way, to places like Voat, Saidit, Gab and Truth Social.
If you want to link me to an author I don’t recognise, you’ll have to try harder than Luxemburg!
I’m pretty sure that’s what they mean.
Nobody cares what Lenin had to say. You’re not just talking to the lemmygrad lot.
If it were just that dimension, where’s all the (right-)libertarians?
Yeah, Reddit leans boringly mildly progressive, Lemmy leans communist.
Yeah, a good part of that was because I stayed out of the right-wing cesspits, while taking far too long to leave the left-wing ones, so most of the cess I got was left cess.
The only exception was PCM (joined when it was merely right-leaning and not particularly PC, rather than the outright hive of scum and villainy it became), and there, it was far from progressive.
Exactly. Why does nobody understand economics?
That would be entirely unreasonable, because the ideal is not zero carbon output, it’s reducing carbon output to a sustainable level.
Misogynistic shithole my ass. There’s some misogynists there, but my experience of Reddit was that it was progressive and feminist to an extent rivalling Tumblr.
Progressive censors are just as bad as their right-wing counterparts, but live in a delusional world in which whatever they do is right because they’re the ones that do it.
Yeah. Not those literal words of course, but bitch and whore.
Lemmy.ml has a slur filter that bans words like female dog (derogatory) and prostitute (derogatory).
Yeah, mods don’t like Reddit either.
I’m a mod of a small subreddit, which I have attempted to move to Lemmy, but as I’m not the only mod, the sub is still up and far more active.
There really isn’t. There’s enough for everyone to have what they need, but that’s still a scarce good.
It doesn’t to me. It’s just communists vs liberals rather than left vs right.
