Lemmy is not ideologically diverse. Thoughts? - eviltoast

edit: having a community dedicated to letists only can be a bad idea in that it can make sure your beliefs are not questioned. I have thought myself as a socialist and I have thought myself as a anarcho-capitalist, I don’t believe in either anymore. I think if radical views go unchecked they might cause problems. Although I am a capitalist now, being confronted by socialists has made me aware of capitalisms deep flaws. When I considered myself a communist (17 year old me) I thought opposing views really changed my mind. So that’s the ideologically diversity I am talking about.

I love the outlook of lemmy, I think the design is decent and simplistic. But one thing I can’t seem to get over is the fact that almost everyone here seem to think the same politically. Why do you guys think this is?? I know this is a community of leftists foss enthusiasts but I hope everyone here is aware that it is driving many people away from adapting it.

    A community of leftist privacy and FOSS enthusiasts, run by Lemmy’s developers

    I know you already mentioned this, but… should an online car community be concerned about the lack of cyclists on their forum?

      Hehe… good one. I understand that. But don’t you think it would be a better place of some people from the right joined in here
