The ideological leaning of the developers means nothing on a federated network. What you care about is knowing the ideology of who runs your instance.
You can just as easily fall into a right wing echo chamber by joining the wrong instance. And one that censors any kind of pro Russia or pro China sentiment, which is equally bad, in my opinion.
Propaganda can come from both sides. Just keep your eyes open.
Be careful that some communities have bots that review posts right after they are edited, that could ban you from said community. This would prevent you from editing the rest of your comments / posts.

Let’s also stop making self aware posts, and do memes and stuff. :)
i3 gang rise up!
I’ve only tried i3 and it just works, so I stuck with it. After learning the hotkeys it never seems to get in the way (at least for my usage). Riced it a bit. Then some polybar sparkled in there. A wallpaper. What more can a guy want?

Here you go. There are others, but I used this one.
I hear that. Gentoo also allows you to do local patches. Had to do that once for gdb (don’t ask) and was surprised how easy it was. Very cool system. Would recommend.
I heard gentoo is HOT! Which contributes to the acceleration of global warming… OMG, I need to use Arch again… nooooo. :( Guys, I’ve decided. It’s okay to have conflicting environmental and sysadmin ideologies at the same time.
I have. Found a tool on Github that edited and deleted every comment or post I did and then deleted the account. So, the nuclear option. My account may not have had much contributions, but it was an honest account of 5 years.
Power to the people!
It’s not like these old users were not fighting to protect your freedom of speech, by creating an open-source federated social network or anything. Yet you use that same freedom of speech they enabled for you against them on the same platform they created. Everyone here will fight for your right to do so, btw, but I just wanted to point that out.
