Hi! In thinking about how to help the fediverse grow, I wonder if there are more mainstream Lemmy instances?
I’ve pointed a couple folks to Lemmy.world and it’s uhhh, pretty hard Left for them (as one girl, who volunteered for the Democrats said “I just got yelled at because I can’t be Left wing unless I want to destroy capitalism? Which feels weird.”) We’re much farther Left than reddit which itself was definitely Left of centre…
I don’t know if decentralized open source social media actually attracts many mainstreamers but assuming we want to grow the fediverse, I’d like to have somewhere I can point people to without feeling very nervous for them.
Thanks!
Who is much more left wing than Canada?
Canada is just America but 2 election cycles behind. We’re very similar politically, most of the left leaning appearance is just lip service, not policy. Look at how we continue to treat indigenous peoples.
How does Europe treat the Romani?
I mean, that probably depends on the country, right? Tbf I don’t know much about them.
The point simply is that Canada isn’t especially left. We can’t be, since we’re joined at the hip to the USA.
Canadian here, most of Europe. We’re looking like we’re expecting Trump lite this year. Not to mention Harper was, a lot.
Most of Europe is one bad economic year away from voting in Nazis (AfD and Le Pen) and the literal fascists in Italy. Not to mention Central and Eastern Europe.
