    There is no “lemmy”, every instance is unique. Just don’t waste your time with the fascist instances

      Do you have any recommendations on finding more centrist lemmy instances? Because there is an extreme left and right which seems clear amongst quite a few instances and I don’t want to be a part of any of them.

        I’ve never seen a right wing instance. I guess they are not federated with Lemmy.world

          That appears to be what’s happening. I think at this point I should probably set up my own instance to federate multiple sources and not be stuck with one specific content filter. Not right-wing at all (truthsocial already contains most of those… people, hard pass), just more a mix of everything.

        Centrist views are shunned by the internet at large. Both sides hate us.

          Because a large number of people on boards like Reddit or Twitter who call themselves centrists use “I’m not a republican” as some way to excuse bigoted views on race, LGBT issues, etc. I suppose the opposite may be true if you’re in a right-leaning place and have left-leaning views, although I wouldn’t know.

          While that might not be the view of centrists in general, that’s the perception of the “centrist” on the internet, and why people generally don’t like them.
