Can’t you create your own instance and then a community tailored to your own persuasion?
that’s probably above the head of a typical user but yes, someone with technical expertise could also do that while still being able to access most of the network (and Beehaw) via federation
unfortunately that sort of granularity isn’t possible with Lemmy, no–at least not yet. i would say we are open to the principle of giving different viewpoints their community if the activity is there, though. in the future, for example, we might give socialism it’s own community because one socialist subreddit might eventually move here, and they’d be a decently sized contingent.
What benefit would you say having separate sub-communities for specific political viewpoints would bring?
Right now I’m not sure if intense conflicts happen on lemmy but that was a thing in reddit.
But in a way it is a solution to the larger problem that is intolerance.
If people are acting this way towards others on this instance, then they aren’t living up to our ethos- they aren’t being nice.
