What do you think Lemmy is most biased about? Which opinions do you think differ most from the general internet?

This probably sounds like a dodge of an answer, but…
It depends on the Lemmy instance. Some are anarchistic, some are very left wing anti-establishment, some are hardcore tankies, and I’ve heard somewhere there’s a right-wing instance? Some hate certain technologies, some love those technologies, etc.
I don’t think it’s realistic to lump all Lemmy instances (and users) together under a single ideological umbrella. That’s like lumping everyone from America or any other county together for their opinions.
.world is the right wing instance
We certainly do have our fair share of Zionist scumbags.
I’m on .world, and I’d happily throw all the billionaires into an industrial shredder.
Samesies!
You and me Scott! We’ll take on the .world!
Let the record note that Scott_of_the_Artic is an outlier and a comrade yet remains statistically a minority
This brings up another facet: when it comes to ideological biases it’s all subjective.
I consider lemmy.world slightly left of center overall, but again with important caveats that some communities within it are pretty left wing and some are pretty right wing. But maybe to someone pretty far on the left of the political spectrum the instance seems very right wing, while to someone pretty far to the right it seems like almost everyone are ‘rabid pinko commies’.
Basically, things are more complicated than they may look.
I just joined Lemmy and then I discoverd what .ml is. Now I don’t care about instances anymore
Wrong, because of what words mean and the context implied by the .world domain itself
What implication is that?
That it shouldn’t be US or any other nation defaultism, putting the left/right argument squarely in the realm of the relatively objective socialist/capitalist economic scale.
I think youre reading way too much into what tried to be an inclusive name.
