  • To be fair I think lemmy kind of radicalised me. When I got here I felt like a left wing outcast on reddit, but I was in reality more like somewhere between a socdem and a dem soc type.

    After a year here, I’ve been enlightened so much on online privacy and FOSS and stuff, learnt a lot about leftism and cool movements like solarpunk, and now find myself using the label “anarchism” to describe my political views. Lemmy has definitely slowly radicalised me and taught me a bunch of stuff.

    Obviously lemmy is not perfect

    (Also has it’s downsides, like a large tankie presence, aka. CCP and Putin propagandists, but to be honest, the left wing subs of reddit have been kind of taken over by tankie mods as well, which is part of the reason I switched to lemmy, most leftist communities on reddit felt authoritarian)
