Comment on Why this app is so political?
realcaseyrollins 2 years agoThere is more than one?
Actually not that I know of, just wolfballs.com, but I assume there are far more lemmy instances that I just forgot about
What is reactionary?
Making free-speech instances in response to the main instance
And why is it bad?
A couple reasons, firstly, it solidifies Lemmy's reputation as a platform for leftists, and seconds, it unnecessarily divides and isolates right wing users and instances from most Lemmy users who abide by the mainstream Lemmy perspective.

This website literally describes itself as
A community of leftist privacy and FOSS enthusiasts, run by Lemmy’s developers
Are you lost? I really don't get people like you.
I'm not lost, just mentioning that making your software partisan (either by design or reputation) will limit success and utility of the software in a way that's unnecessarily harmful

I hope you don't mind me commenting here.
I didn't make that instance as a response to this instance. I made that instance as a response to ruqqus closing down. Which is where I previously spent every day shit posting. I chose Lemmy because the code base is better. And I'm better with rust than python. I also didn't plan to interact with anyone on this instance. One of the devs reached out to me.
That is literally in the side bar. It says right there this is a community for leftest. I respect that and keep my shit posting on my instance unless its something I think someone here will find useful.
I don't think this instance wants right wing content at all. Or users.
