I've pointed a couple folks to Lemmy.world and it's uhhh, pretty hard Left for them (as one girl, who volunteered for the Democrats said "I just got yelled at because I can't be Left wing unless I want to destroy capitalism? Which feels weird.") We're much farther Left than reddit which itself was definitely Left of centre...

I don't know if decentralized open source social media actually attracts many mainstreamers but assuming we want to grow the fediverse, I'd like to have somewhere I can point people to without feeling very nervous for them.

Thanks!

I mean, it's probably best to stay out of political subs at that point. Reddit's pretty far left of... mainstream US media, and yeah lemmy is fairly left of reddit.

But to be honest, just politics in social media will always be arguing. You aren't likely to find a political group that perfectly lines up with exactly where you are.
