    Platforms have no political alignment, users have

      You cannot tell me TruthSocial has no political alignment.

      I don’t agree. The simple fact that Lemmy is decentralised is a political thing. It’s about who has power over the platform, and that is inherently a political issue. The status-quo of other platforms, that being under the control of a corporation, is also a political stance.

      PS: everything is politics, that’s not a good or bad thing, it’s neutral. If you don’t think of something as political, that just means it’s oriented towards the status-quo you are used to.

      Did the platform just blink into existence or was it created and advanced by someone’s hand? To what end?

      Also why would you want to be in an echo chamber? I’m more of a libertarian but I like surrounding myself with people that challenge my views.

        You’re not a libertarian you’re a conservative who’s afraid to admit so.

          Do you think that’s of all the issues in politics, it’s only valid to have the same 2 political views as everyone else? Or can people have wide ranging views on many topics?

      And these users recognize Putin’s arguments for a special military operation in Ukraine as valid.
