New to Lemmy and I quit reddit years ago and I remembered that r/conservatives was hostile to me for voicing my politics certain other subreddit made fun of me if I was wrong. I’m newish to the fediverse. I’m digging mastodon even though I never did Twitter
Honestly, it’s been better than Reddit so far, probably because of who’s self-selected into being here. In the long run, I expect it will be the same.
Like someone else said, there’s prominent Marxist-Leninist instances, including this one to a degree, so this probably isn’t the place if you want to talk about your cool new landlord sidehustle (for one example). Most of Lemmy (like everywhere I’ve been, probably even NCD) leans left of the IRL center, but it sounds like that won’t slip you up.
I’m new, too, and agree it’s been way nicer than reddit.
Well, I left during the whole API thing, so I’m not sure I’d say I’m new. But anyway, glad to hear it!
What brought you here? How did you hear about us?
Just curious.
If I’m gonna get into politics it’s most likely to start organizational groups for approval voting/ranked Choice voting. I’ll tell people that they have to deal with entire spectrum
Yeah, we have one-choice FPTP where I live, and it sucks.
Given the context, I feel the need to mention that starting an organisation is super, super hard to start with, and Lemmy is niche on top of that. There’s organisations IRL that are always looking for volunteers.
