    Lemmy is a decentralized protocol not a centralized americanized political leaning social media.

      Do you think that’s relevant? I don’t see anything about either reddit or lemmy that makes it harder for right-wingers to join. I can tell you that America does not have a monopoly on the alt-right (AfD, Brexit, etc)

      I’m keen to learn more if you’ve seen evidence in this topic. I wouldn’t know how to investigate, tbh.

        If the platform owners are driving discussions by manipulating feeds (Facebook) or running bots to make the platform look popular (Reddit), the right-wing presence on those platforms might not be as real as we believe.

          Well, looking at elections worldwide, the far-right isn’t as small as any extremist party should be…

        On Reddit is way harder now (like I care), it is not about monopoly but a state controlled company that’s has censorship from a party.

          state controlled company

          Umm. Do you mean Tencent? They have a minority holding. The idea that China actively controls reddit is hard to reconcile with the amount of content that is critical of China. Or let me know what you mean, if not that.

          has censorship from a party

          What censorship, what party? Do you mean t_d being shut down? Because a better explanation of that would be that the majority of civilised people finally had enough of the nasty chumps in that hole, and good riddance to them. Or let me know what you mean, if not that.
