    There 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.

        By the way, shitposting has to be one word, otherwise it has an entirely different meaning.

        I don’t think this instance wants right wing content at all. Or users.

        I would tbh. If there was a good neutral instance, I would join it.

      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

          You realize the purpose of this site isn’t profit or a popularity contest, right? It’s a space for leftists, how hard is that for you to wrap your head around?
