Just to point out, Lemmy.ml isn't really like that, with a few exceptions. Before the big influx of Reddit refugees, it used to be the default Lemmy instance, and so has quite a few non-political communities.
It's Lemmygrad.ml that's the super tanky echo chamber.
I mean, I'm currently getting a ton of downvotes in .ml for suggesting the radical idea of voting for local leftist politicians over destabilizing all of Western civilization.
I'm even outwardly for the destabilization of all civilization, but apparently "actually trying to enact meaningful change" isn't what they're interested in, unless it involves someone else dying in their revolution.
You can't just say "in .ml", is my point. Which specific community?
If you're talking about like say, [email protected], then I totally understand, but my point is that if we are talking about instances as a whole, then Lemmy.ml is quite mild in its "tankiness".
