I don’t have much of a problem either way as I don’t think I’ll be engaging in political discussion on this website past this post but it seems like any sort of non-left wing opinions or posts are immediately trashed on here. That’s fine. There’s clearly a more liberal audience here and that’s okay. I just don’t want Lemmy to become a echo chamber for any side and it seems to be that way when it comes to politics already.
Mostly making this post just to drum up discussion as I’m new here.
Edit: Thanks for the rational replies. I was expecting to get lit up for even mentioning this topic lol.
As long as it’s not hate speech, doxing, etc, it’s probably not off limits. But it’s popularity will decide on the user base. I think it’s sort of a techie crowd here and that sort of crowd tends liberal. But I’d say you can try and see what happens.
