Why so many commies in this app?

  lemmy.ml's sideboard thing:

  A community of leftist privacy and FOSS enthusiasts, run by Lemmy’s developers

  Lemmy (the software) has a separate, more general mission from Lemmy.ml (the instance).

  Because Reddit bans commies, and Lemmy doesn't. Due to it being federated.

    Does it? I'm unaware of any site-level bans for being communist. Individual subreddits are obviously another story, but that's by design.

  Reddit kept giving my account bans and deleting subs I used, that's why I'm here. Alternative social media platforms tend to draw extremists from all ends of the political spectrum.

  It's just the nature of how it was founded and the sort of people who founded it. But yeah, look for other instances if its an issue, possibly look into starting your own if you're willing to take up that responsibility. I think having spaces for other viewpoints would be great for the platform as a whole.

    I'm on narwhal.city, a Lotide instance which can federate with Lemmy. I'm basically the only active user here and I lean right.

    There's also the Lemmy instance wolfballs.com but it seems pretty far right at first glance.

      I came back a few days ago and was surprised that most of the public timeline is from Lemmy

  The devs are communists. A lot of us were attracted to Lemmy instance because of that. Lemmy was also promoted in some communist communities, particularly as Reddit seems to be banning them.
