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.

    I was almost gonna agree until the end but unfortunately, I really can’t agree with the notion that technology is not political.

    The project is political. The license they chose for the software, what they’re using to develop it, how they fund the development of the project are all very political things.

      I don’t completely disagree, but that’s not what I meant. People are conflating the views of Lemmy’s main developers with the project itself, and I believe they can be separated.
