I feel like Lemmy has WAY more crazy political views, like extreme leftist and BoTh SiDeS people. That’s probably more of a symptom of Russian propoganda across the wider Internet that wasn’t as prevalent 10+ years ago.

This also depends on what instances your instance federates with though. You could go to an instance that defederates from the more politically extreme instances.

I think it also depends on what communities you interact with.
I got fed up with it in the Lemmy.world new community and unsubscribed. I’ve been much happier following that change.
There are still some leftist and both sides hot takes I run into … but it’s a much more acceptable pacing now.

TIL that egalitarianism and saving humanity from unrestrained capitalism is extremely left.

We barely talked about politics at all back when the great Digg migration happened. People were interested in far more fun things back then.

Hmmmm, I remember heaps of people being into Ron Paul because he wanted to legalise weed, and Bernie is a perennial favourite
