Lemmy.world, so the largest general 'bubble' so to speak. You're on the generalist, relatively moderate instance.
I feel like when people describe anything as moderate on the fediverse, they're really taking about the middle ground between centrism and true communism. And somehow that's still icky for some people's tastes. Lol
I would never in a million years describe myself as moderate and I find myself agreeing with the great majority of opinions I come across. That's how the general vibe of the entire instance feels, and it's still not leftist enough for some folks, somehow.
Yes, moderate here is a relative term in the context of the wider fediverse.
Yeah, I'm not commenting on whether it's a relative term, but where that line falls. It's already quite left, and somehow people are still clutching their pearls.
the point of being a extremist is nothing is good enough for you. it's a quest for ever more extreme views to feel superior/purer than the unwashed non-ideological masses.
the 'drug' of extremism is that it makes feel people feel 'special'. ONLY they know the TRUTH.
Okay “centrist”.
I’ll go be extreme in my belief that people should be able to live without being harassed and murdered for who they were born.
lbgt+ extremists are 100% for harassment, murder, and assault when it's someone they disgaree with. lots of them don't think heterosexuality should exist, and many of them are anti-bi, anti-trans hate groups who have these weird 'queer is supreme' mindsets and feel they have the right to tell everyone else how to live.
charlie kirk murder is one of them. very popular view here on lemmy that his death was 100% justified because of what he said, while harming nobody.
