Asking as there has been a few comments mentioning this with the new [email protected] taking over [email protected]

[email protected] for additional context on those recent events if you are interested

Also, an older post for more context on how lemmy.ml is managed: https://lemmy.world/post/16211417

Curious to hear other thoughts about this, as I’m trying to keep [email protected] active, but might suggest to move it elsewhere if a lot of people prefer not to interact with lemmy.ml communities

    I wish that political ideology wasn’t such a thing to worry about on Lemmy. It’s sadly easy to find extremist content, even on the homepage, when you’re not logged in.

      100% of the people I’ve recommended Lemmy to irl have not only been turned away by exactly that but then actually give me dirty looks for having recommended it to them.

      We who block such tend to forget: a new user faces a very different experience, full of e.g. calls to murder landlords and sometimes even people with like just bank accounts.

      Imagine if this was NSFW content that wasn’t labelled as such! Which is highly ironic bc I find that NSFW content is extremely well-behaved on Lemmy?! :-P

      Sadly, politically extremist rhetoric refuses to label itself in like manner:-(.
