    You should read these posts by the creators of Lemmy

    1. https://lemmy.ml/post/70280

    2. https://lemmy.eus/post/5460

    First points out that lemmy.ml is not the flagship. Second goes through that lemmy was not intended to be left, but was intended to just not be US focused. I am okay with that but if the suggestion is that Lemmy needs to maintain leftist ideologies throughout the FOSS communities then that’s just wrong. If I get proven wrong and you can prove that these communities need to be leftist anti capitalist then I would be happy to close my Lemmy account asap.

      whether they like it or not, they are the flagship: the lead developer is the admin. if they decide they need a feature, then it will be implemented and everyone else will get that feature, too. no other instance has such a short lead between their feature implementation and everyone else’.

          they explicitly state what they think “flagship instance” was being used to mean 3 years ago. i clearly used it with a different definition. your link is worse than irrelevant: an argument that relies on it falls prey to a logical fallacy called equivocation.

              and this meme smacks of an appeal to ridicule. it doesn’t make what you said any more true or undermine the strength of my position. it’s pure rhetoric.

                I’ll say it again though. If you can prove to me that Lemmy in it’s entirety needs to maintain a leftist focus then I will delete my account. You can be the one to do that Bigmouth. I will even post my hog before I leave as is tradition.

                  more appeal to ridicule

                  > prove to me that Lemmy in it’s entirety needs to maintain a leftist focus

                  no one is saying that. i’m saying you knew what you were getting (or you know now), and whining isn’t going to change it or make anyone sympathetic.

                    So is your answer

                    A. Lemmy is inherently leftist therefore I need to not expect otherwise

                    B. I need to stop whining, this is how FOSS works

                    C. All of the above

                    Is this correct?

      i wouldn’t say that. i don’t think anyone did say that. but if you’re going to whine about leftist content in those communities, i don’t think you’re going to find much sympathy, and i don’t think you really deserve any, either.
