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?

    I’m what would be called “very left leaning” in Australia. On Reddit and Lemmy’s politics communities I’m called a trumper, nazi, bigot, republican, and a fascist 😂. I voted yes to gay marriage in our referendum. I have literally never voted for our Conservative Party. I’ve voted for the greens (our “far left”) more than I’ve voted for our “left”. I’m a big believer in taking action on climate change. I’m a trans rights supporter, identify as whatever you want, I don’t care.

    What I’m not for however, is censorship and things like pretending biology doesn’t exist. I’m for fairness across the board, so my views that biological males only compete with biological males makes me a “transphobe” apparently 😂

    I don’t want an echo chamber. I want everyone of all political opinions from far left to far right to be able to discuss their opinions and views without fear of censorship, brigading, and banning. Apparently that’s too much to ask of the far lefts that make up most of Lemmy.
