Reality has a “left” bias. You’d know that if you actually went out and talked to people.
Lemmy is still very niche so it’s mainly populated by a specific type of people. That is normal and the same for every platform that starts small and grows slowly (reddit, instagram,…). If you want to see different content you can create your own communities or if they are not allowed even your own instance. But Lemmy still has to grow a lot to attract “normal people”. They are still on reddit at the moment.
By the way which censorship are you referring to that could not be resolved by moving to another instance?
i smell nazi scum.
I think any large platform will need to moderate, and moderation is gonna be biased and human.
Saying American’s on Lemmy hate the vales America stands for is quite an assertion. That means your idea of what ‘America sands for’ isn’t sensetive to everyone in America. I’d think on what that means about how you construct your idea of the nation.
A nations vales are necessarily diverse. Even if founding documents or what not says otherwise. Those documents don’t represent everyone and they are not infallible.
I don’t think you can hate a countries values because a country doesn’t value as one entity. My values are American values even if we disagree.
Maybe try and join things in your local community. They likely think more like ya want, and may have just the mix of opinions you disagree with that ya want.
Maybe you need to make your own community? I’m also pretty sure there are some right leaning Lemmy instances, so I feel like a middle ground may exist for you somewhere.
