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?
Reality isn’t politically neutral. Most niche communities are pretty apolitical but if you want to interact with news communities you’ll be out of luck.
Exactly what I was thinking. Even lemmy.world has https://lemmy.world/c/conservative - so why does the instance have to be or support politically neutrality as a whole? Just join the magazines that fit your taste.
Even for political news specifically, I’m sure there are similar magazines to https://lemmy.world/c/moderate_politics - or alternatively, one can fill the gap by subscribing to an RSS feed from the many RSS-to-fediverse options out there, like https://lemm.ee/post/336615
