    Although (even here I cannot allow myself to rush to judgement in order to say that!? 😜) perhaps that is an oversimplification since we all can fall prey to biases in our thinking at some point along our chain of thinking. It is just that some people actually seem to care about that while others not so much; read that as in: not at all.

    Exactly. Some details will be always missing; but a good person is supposed at least looks for them, instead of actively trying to shove them under the rug so they reach some dichotomic “us vs. them” view of the world.

    [.ml vs. .world admin teams]

    I do agree .ml is way worse when it comes to transparency; for example, they see no problem on labelling criticism against the Russian government as “bigotry”. It’s still far from ideal in .world’s case; for example, when the topic is Palestine.

    And people might say “well, those are local mods, not the admin team”, but IMO the admin team should be partially responsible for what mods do.

    As for leftist, I no longer feel comfortable discussing […]

    No worries - I get it. I didn’t tell you my whole political instance either, for the same reason - if I were to say everything I think about politics in Lemmy, I’d get the federal cops giving me a visit.

      At the end of the day, people either feel welcomed here or they do not. Admiral Patrick did not, and now he’s gone. My reply up above was downvoted, so I guess I should not feel welcomed either? Perhaps I should only speak what the group-think wants to hear, and then I could be accepted and loved? :-P I am being facetious obviously (proof: see tongue faced emoji:-D), but underneath that I am also serious: however it happens, we really do need to create / allow spaces for people to discourse on matters, or else it will not happen. Which is why it is not happening, which is why Lemmy is becoming the way that it is. Lemmy is not “dying” - b/c new people are continuing to come here from Reddit - but the ideals that certain people (such as Admiral Patrick) had are dying, the hopes and dreams of what Lemmy could become.

        Piefed is what AdmPat thought Lemmy could become, and it’s getting better every day

          Yes I have lost most hopes for Lemmy, and am going all in on PieFed instead for exactly that reason:-). Though people will actually have to make use of those tools for them to work, so it will take some time to learn I am sure.
