I’m a conservative. I don’t mind the liberal stuff here. It’s good to learn the other side, but I don’t want a liberal echo chamber. I’d like to be more politically balanced in the fediverse. Is there any way I can do that?

Not likely that there will be a conservative instance. Lemmys core principles are “left leaning” so that already lowers tolerance for the audience “the right” attracts. Every conservative instance eventually gets deleted and defederated because toxicity is baked into the idea. America’s “left” is already right wing to the rest of the modern world, so going further than that is just… not great. You can hope for the “ENLIGHTENED_CENTRISTS” to try to keep a somewhat moderated instance but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
I don’t think that lemmy’s principles are left leaning at all… Sure they’re anti-authoritarian but being anti-authoritarian doesn’t mean you’re a leftist -
George Orwell characterises this really well(mb)But George Orwell was a leftist.
Oh damn I misremembered, my bad
Somehow I got mixed up by the fact that animal farm was anti-authoritarian, not anti-left
Orwell criticized leftists as well. 1984 was a critic of Stalinism.
Check the “All” page on the big Lemmy instances, it’s undoubtedly very left-leaning. This whole thread is a testament to that.
