    Well said, I agree with all of that. I’m considerably more to the left as well, that’s part of why I hate lemmy.ml, because they’re preventing actual good growth and movement in that direction.

    Hopefully Mbin or some other one of the new forks/platforms takes off soon. I’m ready to move if necessary, I love the idea of a healthy Fediverse and I hope some day I can recommend it to friends instead of being too embarrassed to admit I use it because of all the propaganda.

      That’s something I’ve recently realized. They think people dislike them because they’re leftist, but that has very little to do with it. Some of their harshest critics are from the left.

      They have no idea it’s because of their authoritarian simping, and every time you call them out on it, they deflect. Frankly they more strongly support fascist regimes than their criticizers.

        I think the paid shills know what’s going on, they’re told to act like leftists and probably don’t actually hold those beliefs. They might be brainwashed to think the CCP/Kremlin is good.

        So in my opinion they pretend people are “upset that they’re leftist” in order to avoid people focusing on their actual motives.

      you can leave literally any time. there are dozens of instances, you don’t need to stay on flagship instances. you might like truth.social, which runs mastodon’s software, or gab.com which does the same.
