    It’s news to me that we are supposed to select a server based on politics. join-lemmy.org gives suggestions based on any number of topics. For instance, technology and gaming.

      You probably don’t want to be on a far left server like lemmy.ml if those aren’t your politics. If only for the risk of getting defederated, but it’s also a quick way to get banned by your own instance if you do participate in political threads.

        I wouldn’t exactly call lemmy.ml a far left server. They’re more tankies, which is more defined by the philosophy of “America Bad, so their rivals must be Good”.

        As a US citizen, the country has a lot of problems (especially with the current administration) but Putin and Jinping are still authoritarian despots.

        Even if you do fall under “far left politics”, you’ll still be shit on for being the wrong kind of leftist.

        I see there is an old.lemmy.zip. I wouldn’t be able to live without that UI. It’s perfect
