.world is the right wing instance

    I'm on .world, and I'd happily throw all the billionaires into an industrial shredder.

    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.

    Wrong, because of what words mean and the context implied by the .world domain itself

    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.

    Or I've read the instance info and framing references beyond my personal status don't scare me.

    Not particularly surprised that Americans are defensive about .world not being their personal property that must conform to their worldview though.

    I've been on .world for over a year now and haven't really seen anything I'd call blatantly right-wing. But if this is right wing and the rest of lemmy is even more leftist, I'll gladly join the rest of yas elsewhere.
