MODERATORS
I think a lot of the responses you're getting (and their upvotes) are pretty good reflections of the problem you're addressing.
I imagine the user base is a bit more diverse than the comments etc let on. It is just exhausting to even try to explain a conservative perspective viewpoint t here so I think a lot of folks just keep their heads down on anything political.
While a lot of folks have zero interest in venturing outside of their ideological comfort zones, I wonder if there sre enough of us that we could make some /community work. There were a few on reddit that were private or super tightly moderated that were pretty interesting for stuff like that...
I'm not sure if there are any socially rightwing people in Lemmy (they would have to be very accepting of things they hate to remain) but there are definitely moderates in the economic stance
Even then, it's only 10% v. 90% from what I've seen, most are fully against private establishments within generally government ran departments
Even if someone did it, it would take a lot of people to move there and for what? I definitely wouldn't go, and I don't really care my opinions about the economy is hated
I'm saying moderates instead of rightwing because fuck you if you want vital government departments privatised (health, electric grid, rail, education, news)

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
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.
There is the same kind of special snowflake attitude on here that ruined Reddit. You people only want to have your exclusive social bubble where you can sniff each other's farts. I'm not interested in that.
