    My Mastodon experience is far more pleasant than that of Lemmy.

    My sense is Mastodon is far less left leaning (but still left of center) but it may just be a product of who I’m following and the tags I’m following.

      I would love to have an unbiased Lemmy. But this is filled with mostly extreme far left people I talked to. I also get down voted any time I mention most people don’t use Imperial/Fahrenheit, except 5% of the world. Lemmy feels kind of hostile for open discussion.

        Yeah, I think I saw that post.

        Lots of “it’s OK when we do it” sentiment.

        I’ve noticed the majority (or at least the vocal ones) don’t really stand on principles such as free speech. And I don’t mean as in a “free speech” Lemmy instance. I mean in terms of inalienable rights.

        To many here, things like that are only for the “good” people, as determined by them.

        Have you considered that US standard unit users know that and it’s just annoying when someone points it out unnecessarily for the hundredth time?

      Begging the question of what you think constitutes the political “center”, given how fash everything has become.

        I’m too tired to hash that out with you.

          Might be cause you’re bouncing between so many social media services

        The actual center, which never moves even as extremists come and go, would be a little to the right of Elizabeth Warren, though not by much.
