Look at here and the people who complain about it being too hard to figure out are the ones complaining about "I can't use muh slurs, this is awful."

"The left of today is very much in favour of censorship to avoid “harm.” This makes those of us in the middle very wary of signing up to any partisan media." /u/decidedlysticky23

/u/misshapensteed claims he isn't far right, but explictly only posts on PoliticalCompassMemes and TheLeftCantMeme and KotakuInAction.

If they are too stupid to figure out we know they're lying, they're too stupid to figure out lemmy.

Would Lemmy embrace or allow /r/2ALiberals ? This is a topic I’ve been curious about.

[–] drone509@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

There already is one, it's just that nobody posts there atm. !guns and lemmygrad!firearms.

!guns@midwest.social welcomes you although we're more of a leftist instance than liberal.

Thanks! I can't see to get the subscribe button to come up from this instance though 🤔

I was able to subscribe to the Ohio community though.

Edit: Was able to figure it out. Subscribed.

Interesting. I’ll check out the former.

If someone wanted to do that they could spin up a server or find a friendly server and create the community. So definitely allowed.

I can't really speak to whether it would be embraced because I'm too new to know, but assuming a critical mass of people move here I would assume so.

I’m curious if it would be federated or not. Plenty of firearm owners in the US are not conservative or right leaning. They often don’t have good communities to participate in for firearms related content because of that.

Oh, I'm well aware. I'm lightly left leaning with a few running around because I hunt. I'd probably join to look, but I'm not big on participating in that kind of community because it's such a small hobby for me compared to the other million hobbies I have.
