Do any of them know what the word “liberal” actually means?

      I mean it was kind of inevitable on lemmy.world, right? An ostensibly centrist instance that kind of tries to brand itself as the “mainstream” socially acceptable lemmy instance. It was basically liberal from the start, you know? Appealing to users flooding in from the reddit exodus. The more explicitly leftist influenced things are going to act more, you know, liberal with the banning out of self-preservation, and so are inevitably going to kind of like, paradoxically, cordon themselves off into little, I mean, basically echo chambers, so they’re not going to appeal to a kind of broader audience as much.

      It’s all kind of inevitable from the structure of the site, I think.

      Liberals pulling out a Merriam Webster definition and acting like they’re the holy good guys while making no effort to understand what liberalism even is…

      Is such a liberal move I’m not even surprised anymore.

      Enjoy your right wing echo chamber, real funny how that always happens when liberals and fascists get in a room together.

        ah yes, lemmy, the “biden is just as right wing as trump, harm reduction isn’t real, and if you don’t vote third party in 2024 you’re a genocide enabler” website, famously a right wing echo chamber
