No one owns Lemmy, no one can appropriate it and say where on the political spectrum it lies, or gatekeep. That's the whole point of decentralization. Stop trying to do it.

Oh come now. I think it's quite clear as far as the general lean of Lemmy. It has it origins deep in communism and it hasn't strayed far. It's a bit like saying everyone is welcome at a rage against the machine concert, so no one can really say where on the spectrum the crowd lies.

Hey, at least your average, retarded, left take seems to be (at least from my limited experience here) somewhat more palatable than your average, retarded, right take.

You’re not wrong.

But Lemmy.ml is definitely a leftist space.
