You are really pushing for a consistency that doesn’t seem to be there.
Hey if you don’t see that the vast majority of posters on Lemmy skew one direction, then I can’t really say anything that is gonna make you change your mind.
And in the end, it’s not really that important that you know it anyway.
BUT if you are bored, look up “conservative” and “!conservative” in the lemmy search function, making sure “all” is chosen. You’ll see the barrage of comments and nazi/fascism accusations.
In fact, be sure to look up the glee that Lemmy had in taking over !conservative@lemm.ee and !conservative@sh.just.works. Admins took those communites over from conservatives to turn them into meme communites that make fun of conservatives. And they celebrated it.
That’s why THIS community exists. Because those conservative communities were taken over and didn’t allow pro-conservative posts.
Again, in the scheme of things, it’s not that important. It’s just Lemmy. Not even close to the real world. I was just making a note of it for conversation. But Lemmy doesn’t change really change the opinions of anyone, so it’s all harmless shit-talking in the end.
It’s really like sports team hate. It really doesn’t matter. Not to say that poltics and voting don’t matter; I’m just saying that shit-talking on Lemmy doesn’t matter.
Which is why Lemmy was so shook when Trump one. They legit thought that Lemmy was a snapshot of all of the US. And it’s not even close. It’s a very closed society with a big echo-chamber.
You definitely sound like you have a vendetta against Lemmy. Even if it was 1 big think tank who’s opinions are entirely against yours, other online and offline communities were surprised Trump won too.

Only because of this longish conversation. Reality is that Lemmy is a place for shit-talking and shit-posting. I don’t take any of it seriously.

Not my community. Not the people I know. When you surround yourself by people who think exactly like you, sometimes you lose sight of just how many different opinions there are out there.
Which happens regardless of your ideology.
For the record, I’m not in MAGA land or anything. A city with over a million people. Blue state. Mix of people and diversity. Most of the people I knew were doubtful of the dem party and their choices lately. Obviously the MAGA people had Trump in their eyes and saw nothing else, but plenty of liberal friends of mine had a feeling of how it was gonna go.
I remember on Lemmy, people were saying they were throwing up because they were crying so much. Some said they couldn’t focus because of shock. The over-dramatics of Lemmy on the day after the elections was fucking hilarious.
Now those same people are asking others when the world’s gonna end. Should they drop out of college because the world’s over, etc.
Fucking Lemmy is insane. But I still like it here for the laughs. You all whack tho…lol I don’t care how many downvotes I get, or bans, or the hate. It’s all just a fucking online shit-talk forum. You all take shit way too seriously!
