A large proportion of Lemmy are not pro-capitalist, yes.

Thats still very much generalizing. What this meme essentially says is that if you're a capitalist, you're not part of Lemmy.

On a seperate note, you cant possibly know how many people on Lemmy actually support capitalism or not. It has a left tendency, yes, but I bet the majority of Lemmx users do support caputalidm in some shape or form.

No, it is saying that if you are capitalist, you will get pushed into a corner by downvotes and can't enjoy the discussion as much as everyone else.

As is clearly shown with this comment.

If you actually read the posts made here on Lemmy (and I don't mean the hexbear lemmygrad ones) you should still clearly see a contempt towards the capital class.

The upvote ratio on this comment (which is at 15up to 15down currently) is in no way representative of Lemmy. At best its representative of this specific community ([email protected]).
