Everything is political. The notion that you can do things and have them not have political consequences and be politically informed is a total falsehood and illusion.
This app is just honest and upfront about its politics, in contrast to something like Reddit which is “apolitical” which just means the admins explicitly support the status quo.
I think it’s just that the flagship instance yours is not only political, but run by the devs as well. Plus the hard coded word blacklist and whatnot lol
Right wing and free speech instances are merely reactionary since the flagship platform is political when it should be the other way around
Right wing and free speech instances
There is more than one?
What is reactionary? And why is it bad?

Actually not that I know of, just wolfballs.com, but I assume there are far more lemmy instances that I just forgot about
What is reactionary?
Making free-speech instances in response to the main instance
And why is it bad?
A couple reasons, firstly, it solidifies Lemmy’s reputation as a platform for leftists, and seconds, it unnecessarily divides and isolates right wing users and instances from most Lemmy users who abide by the mainstream Lemmy perspective.

This website literally describes itself as
A community of leftist privacy and FOSS enthusiasts, run by Lemmy’s developers
Are you lost? I really don’t get people like you.
I’m not lost, just mentioning that making your software partisan (either by design or reputation) will limit success and utility of the software in a way that’s unnecessarily harmful
You realize the purpose of this site isn’t profit or a popularity contest, right? It’s a space for leftists, how hard is that for you to wrap your head around?
