Lemmy is such a small market compared to others like reddit, twitter, and facebook. Two of them have gone full fox news. Reddit wants to but can't afford to lose any users. The battle for social media is over and the fact that disrupters even make their way to lemmy shows how far their reach is.
Russia and other bad actors are dragging the USA off its throne and their doing it from the inside. The GOP are like fully hopped up junkies at this point and if we tried to remove the mainline of the propaganda feeding their dilusion they'd just as well claw your eyes out.
Just sucks no one in our government is willing to do anything about it.
Edit: If I had one guess it would be that lemmy exists to push a red scare caricature version of a communism that's why you see all these communists with awful takes all the time. Some of them radicalized but mostly just bad actors trying to portray lemmy, one of the last hide outs for lefties, as radical communists.
