I’m a conservative. I don’t mind the liberal stuff here. It’s good to learn the other side, but I don’t want a liberal echo chamber. I’d like to be more politically balanced in the fediverse. Is there any way I can do that?

    due to them nearly always turning into far right toxic harassment zones

    As decided by the far left people running the other instances. Doesn’t matter if they’re not actually “far right” or “toxic” when all it takes is one person to decide that they’re “toxic” and they are defederated.

      If they are harassing people, then yes they are toxic? exploding-heads harasses people across instances and just generally stirs shit

        I don’t know what exploding-heads is, but you can’t use what I presume is one instance or site as a flag bearer for everything.

        Far left instances are just as toxic in their harassment.

          No, they aren’t. You are delusional if you think so. They are still extremely problematic but tankies are a different breed than nazis.

            There are more “far left” extremists than there are “Nazis”.
