Beware of that one, it’s got… “issues”, and is not a great recommendation for someone trying to get away from the exact same type of stuff happening on Reddit.
Ah thanks for the heads up. As I mentioned I’m new to lemmy & still figuring stuff out. Definitely worried about the censorship that the right wing loves so much.
I meant the case for Midwest.Social was left wing.
I thought for Reddit people were also saying that it was left wing, due to calls for Luigi-type violence, but what are you saying about it being due to right wing? To clarify, I genuinely am asking, bc I left Reddit nearly two years ago and except to look something up quickly in specific subs, have not read e.g. r/popular since then, so I don’t have any sense of what that culture has been like.
Yeah, there’s no such thing as left wing censorship currently because the media ownership is right wing. Maybe the midwest sub tries leaning that way, but restricting discussion is a right wing tactic. Especially when that discussion is about populist actions against large corporations and their toadies.
There is an entire instance for the Midwest. Have a look to check if they already have an active community

Thank you!

In that particular case I believe it’s left wing - echo chambers can function on both sides.
Well not in that case, because it’s pressure from the right wing that is enforcing the undue censorship on reddit.
