I might get hate because of my instance here, but in an attempt to better understand Lemmy I’m wondering if some of you can shed a light on why you chose this instance, what’s great about it, what could be better, is the instance rivalries something that affects your use of the platform or is it just background noise?

I’m not trying to start a fight or mud slinging, it would be good if several people could say their piece and nobody shame or attack them for it no matter how much you disagree.

You getting criticised for being a liberal genocide apologist isn't "leftist infighting"

So what I read from it is that .ml folks have a strict set of beliefs one must hold in order not to be crushed under the hateful mob.

If one generally inclines with the set of views, but deviates at any given point, they become a valid target.

This doesn't breed healthy communities and alienates nearly everyone who dares to think for themselves, and yet could be your ally on anything else.

That said, Free Palestine.

If that's what you read then there's no point talking to you because you're just ignoring what is actually being written in order to substitute your own bad faith strawman.
