edit: having a community dedicated to letists only can be a bad idea in that it can make sure your beliefs are not questioned. I have thought myself as a socialist and I have thought myself as a anarcho-capitalist, I don’t believe in either anymore. I think if radical views go unchecked they might cause problems. Although I am a capitalist now, being confronted by socialists has made me aware of capitalisms deep flaws. When I considered myself a communist (17 year old me) I thought opposing views really changed my mind. So that’s the ideologically diversity I am talking about.
I love the outlook of lemmy, I think the design is decent and simplistic. But one thing I can’t seem to get over is the fact that almost everyone here seem to think the same politically. Why do you guys think this is?? I know this is a community of leftists foss enthusiasts but I hope everyone here is aware that it is driving many people away from adapting it.
oh well, the centrist is really just a right winger, how shocking
I am not a centrist, I want to be in a platform with them.
I’m trying to extend Reddit’s /r/moderatepolitics to !moderatepolitics@sopuli.xyz. The Reddit community isn’t centrist per se, but more tries to produce a forum with a baseline level of respect during discussions. There are a pretty decent variety of viewpoints represented in the Reddit community, clustering vaguely in the ideological center. The outpost on Lemmy is currently dead, but that can change. :)
