As I’ve used Lemmy, I’ve discovered just how politically charged it can be. This is likely just due to the nature of the software and the types of people that tend to care about it, but I’d like to avoid associating with radicals, both left and right. As such, I want to make a new account on a new general-purpose instance. I can speak German, so I was thinking feddit.org or lemmy.at, but I know nothing about them. What do you suggest?

    The fact that you describe ideas such as universal healthcare and transgender rights as “radical” tells me all I need to know

      after being here for well over a year now, I’ve learned that people who call places like lemmy.world “politically charged” are usually jerks. The most politics I see there are “Hey I think we should you know, let people live their lives normally, even if they’re trans”. If hot takes like that make me a radical, then gee whiz I guess I am. Sorry I… want people to have health care and want people to live their lives as long as they aren’t hurting anyone.

        Politically charged to me means any form of politics pushing in spaces where it isn’t necessary. All threads, and i mean all can get political on this instance. In fact, on lemmy as a whole
