    There are a lot of American liberals there who think that being centre-right is actually “leftist” so I think it’s related to that. It isn’t really a leftist instance anymore and hasn’t been since the big reddit exodus, so that’s probably why.

      It’s funny that hexbear and grad both talk about lemmy.ml as though its turned into reddit, meanwhile the .worlders all talk about it like it’s Bolshevik Central, all because the devs maintain their stance on not being orientalist and most westerners cannot conceive of a critique of a non-western country that isn’t couched in at least a little bit of racism.

        I think the mods on lemmy.ml are fairly active at combating casual racism and ableism eliminating freezepeach, so I could see why the .worlders hate it so much.
